The Mars Volta have announced a tour (albeit a brief one) for 2026 in which the band will play a setlist spanning their whole 20+ year career.
The neo-emo-prog rockers toured last year on their latest album, Lucro Sucio; Los Ojos Del Vacio, performing the long player in its entirety; a move that left some fans wanting more.

On this tour, however, fans will be able to hear their favorite jams from The Mars Volta’s back catalogue of albums, including 2003’s Frances the Mute and 2005’s Deloused in the Comatorium—both major driving-around-smoking-weed staples in my high school clique.

The tour will kick off September 8 in Ventura, California, before heading across the southwest, stopping in Tucson and the band’s hometown of El Paso, Texas. Then, a previously announced gig opening for My Chemical Romance at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
Shows in the Carolinas and Florida will follow, before wrapping on September 20 at the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, Kentucky. View the complete tour routing below.
