Adam Levine and his band Maroon 5 set to return to Xcel Energy Center in August

Multi-platinum pop band Maroon 5 will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album “Songs About Jane” with a summer tour that hits St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center on Aug. 13.

Tickets, at prices to be announced, go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday through Ticketmaster.

Lead singer Adam Levine, guitarist Jesse Carmichael and the rhythm section of Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick formed the band Kara’s Flowers when they were still in high school. After self-releasing their debut album, the group landed a major-label deal in 1997. But when their album “The Fourth World” failed to find an audience, the guys left the label and went to college.

They reformed in 2001, with guitarist James Valentine added to the lineup, and renamed themselves Maroon 5. Their album “Songs About Jane” topped 5 million in sales and the band went on to score a string of radio hits including “This Love,” “She Will Be Loved” and “Sunday Morning.” Following up that success proved to be difficult, though, with the band making what looked like their final trip to the top 10 with the 2007 single “Makes Me Wonder.”

In 2011, Levin brought interest back to the group after he signed on as a judge on NBC’s “The Voice.” Maroon 5 returned to radio with 2011’s “Moves Like Jagger” and they have enjoyed a solid run of comeback smashes that include “Payphone,” “One More Night,” “Daylight,” “Love Somebody,” “Maps,” “Sugar,” “Don’t Wanna Know,” “What Lovers Do” and “Girls Like You.”

Last summer, Maroon 5 released their seventh album, “Jordi.” The lead single “Memories” went to No. 2, but its follow-ups struggled to find similar success.
