16th - Barrowland, Glasgow

18th - Troxy, London




Formed by guitarist/composer Omar Rodríguez-López and singer/lyricist Cedric Bixler-Zavala,

The Mars Volta rose from the ashes of El Paso punk-rock firebrands At The Drive-In in 2001. On

a mission to “honor our roots and honor our dead”, The Mars Volta made music that fused the

Latin sounds Rodríguez-López was raised on with the punk and underground noise he and

Bixler-Zavala had immersed themselves in for years, and the futuristic visions they were tapping

into. The albums that followed were one-of-a-kind masterpieces, their songs of breath-taking

complexity also possessing powerful emotional immediacy. After the group fell silent, a legion

of devotees (including Kanye West) kept up an insistent drum-beat for their return.
