Spotlights, the beloved trio of Mario and Sarah Quintero with drummer Chris Enriquez announce their first ever UK headline dates as well as some European tour dates in June 2024, in support of their fourth full-length, “Alchemy for the Dead”, a work of gothic grandeur (Ipecac Recordings).
Vocalist and guitarist Mario comments on the dates:
“We’re all very excited to be returning to Europe, and FINALLY playing some UK shows! Of course, it’s an honour to be playing with Mr. Bungle on most of these, but we are thrilled to have a handful of headline dates in the UK, so fans will have a chance to see a full headline set from us there”.
The band will also play on Mr Bungle’s UK dates, and in support of Mr. Bungle for Ipecac’s Geek Show European Vacation, also featuring label-mates Oxbow.

Spotlights is Mario Quintero (guitar, vocals, keys), Sarah Quintero (bass, vocals) and Chris Enriquez (drums). The band has released three albums to date: “Tidals” (2016), “Seismic” (2018) and “Love & Decay” (2019) and their most recent album, “Alchemy for the Dead” (2023).
Alchemy… was a balancing act, a push-and-pull of jarring metallic catharsis and sweeping distortion. Even as either side vies for supremacy, neither extreme ever completely tightens its grip, allowing waves of melodic vocals and expressive sonic sorcery to breathe in the middle.
