The Mars Volta have announced a run of show dates in Europe that will take place in June 2023, and some shows supporting Red Hot Chili Peppers and Iggy Pop.
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.
“The Mars Volta” can be streamed and purchased digitally and physically. Digitally, the album is available in Dolby Atmos and spatial audio, and physically on CD and vinyl with Clouds Hill holding an exclusive, kinetic version of the vinyl, which can be ordered here. A special, gold foiled outer sleeve with embossed art is also available on LP, CD and cassette.
They also embarked on a nationwide tour, which had them performing live as The Mars Volta for the first time in ten years. The shows sold out quickly with many cities adding extra nights due to overwhelming demand, which also sold out.
