The Mars Volta have announced a run of headline show dates that will take place this May and include performances at Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, Welcome To Rockville Festival in Daytona, FL and a show supporting Red Hot Chili Peppers in San Diego, CA.
These shows come on the heels of a wildly prolific year for the band. In September of 2022, they released The Mars Volta, their seventh studio album and first new music in a decade, via Clouds Hill Recordings. It was critically acclaimed and reignited guitarist/composer Omar Rodríguez-López and singer/lyricist Cedric Bixler-Zavala – finding them at the most mature, most concise, and most focused place they had ever been.
Tickets for the upcoming headline shows with support from Teri Gender Bender will go on sale at 10 AM local time on February 3 via the band’s website.
