Maroon 5 to headline Mardi Gras fest 'San Luis Salute 2022' confirms Fertitta family

After a long hiatus, the fun Mardi Gras in Galveston is back!

Guess the Fertitta family has plans to make the crowd 'Move Like Jagger' this year at their famous San Luis Salute. The festival, back after a long hiatus, will be headlining none other than Maroon 5! The event scheduled on February 25, 2022, has almost sold out all its tickets. What's notable is that tickets were selling like hot cakes even before the list of performers were announced. The festival's allure is such that people can't wait to scream their lungs out, partying all night. The annual Tilman Fertitta Family event which was canceled last year is finally happening this year at Galveston Island Convention Center at The San Luis Resort.

This gala has been happening for about 25 years and lovers of this event keep returning, never getting bored once they've got a taste. But the festival's return isn't just happy news for its fans but also the organizers, The Fertittas. They told PaperCity, “Our family is committed to this wonderful Mardi Gras tradition which we began in 1997 and we love the energy, glamour, and excitement it brings to the island’s Mardi Gras celebration.” Additionally, they also added how this year, the tables have sold out way too soon.
