Maroon 5 has partnered up with Malibu for a “Marooned on Malibu Island” collaboration to bring a perfect party combination of music and cocktails to your Summertime experience – and CraveOnline is joining the festivities by hooking you up with a Fender guitar signed by the band!
The Malibu/Maroon5 partnership encourages fans to nominate their city in a nationwide competition to help determine the location of a Maroon 5 concert, to take place following their current tour. Fans can take part by creating their own virtual Malibu Island on MalibuIsland.com.
Here’s how to win a Fender Squier Electric Guitar signed by Maroon 5 on behalf of Malibu:

“The Malibu brand has had a phenomenal few years with new product innovations and partnerships that are so emblematic to the summer state of mind,” said Josh Hayes, Senior Brand Manager, Malibu. “Maroon 5 is the band of summer and we’re especially excited to be partnering with them to bring this unique opportunity to our consumers, giving them the best summer yet, full of great music and great cocktails.”
Malibu has also partnered with the mobile music app, Shazam – you know, the badass app on your phone that delivers instant info on the song you’re listening to. When fans use the app to tag a Maroon 5 song, they will be taken to a mobile version of the competition where they can create or join an existing Island, in a bid to bring Maroon 5 to their town.
