About

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. Ona 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.  Now-a year after 'La Realidad De Los Sueños', aluxurious 18-LP box-set compiling their back catalog, sold out its 5,000 print run in under 24 hours-The Mars Volta are back.

Throughout their career, The Mars Volta have brought played many famous venues to capacity, like Tabernacle in Atlanta and Terminal 5 in New York.

    Mars Volta

    by FragmentedSobriquet on 9/18/23GLC Live at 20 Monroe - Grand Rapids

    The Mara Volta was awesome. Ticketmaster’s summer deal w/ 4for$80 tickets was hassle free for a change. 20Monroe is an alright venue with very expensive drinks and inconveniently located bathrooms.

    Blown away

    by tiedyeguy on 9/17/23Uptown Theater Minneapolis - Minneapolis

    Fourth time seeing these guys (and gal) and I could not have asked for a better show. Well, maybe if they'd played Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt. Mostly older song selection (1st 3 albums + latest release) which was anticipated, and appreciated. Highlight of this iteration of musicians is the drummer, Philo, without a doubt. BIG sticks to fill and she CRUSHED it. Absolutely flawless. 10/10 go see them on this tour. Not to be missed.

    stupendous show

    by andy on 5/22/23713 Music Hall - Houston

    epic, fun, and not what i expected, the mars volta show was incredible, it was my first time seeing them live, but ive been a fan for over ten years now. You can really tell they have become masters at their craft, omar and cedric were absolutley amazing. It seems they had the entire croud happy and dancing through the whole night. they played a lot of hits from my favorite album deloused in the commotorium, but they also played a lot of their other stuff. kind of sucks they didnt do an encore, but thats it when it comes to any negative notes. Now i cant wait to see them again!

    Amazing Show!

    by Stevo2194 on 5/22/23713 Music Hall - Houston

    The show was amazing, the venue was really nice with a very easy entrance and multiple merch tables set up for easy access. Teri Gender Bender was a great opener and the Volta always bring an awesome energy and vibe!

    This show was absolutely incredible. This was a bucket-list band for me and both the band and the Orpheum folks made this show an excellent experience.

    So awesome

    by youenjoymyself on 5/21/23Orpheum Theater - New Orleans

    Opening band was amazing. Teri Gender Bender is a total vibe. I Loved the stage set up with the mirrors and OMG the lights. The entire band looked like they were having a great time. They didn’t jam as much as I would have liked but on the flip side there was a bigger set list. I saw this band 18 years ago at the same venue while still in high school. I loved every minute of it and can’t wait to see them again.

    Absolutely Incredible

    by Mike on 5/17/23Abraham Chavez Theatre - El Paso

    Great show, great venue. I have been wanting to see TMV for a while. Should have seen them when I had the chance between 2003 - 2012ish, but more than happy and thankful to them that I got to do it this year. Also, along with Teri - come on man, it doesn't get any better. Her and her band are awesome! She is such a weirdly, incredible performer. The TMV were on point - true artists - everyone on the stage! Saw them in Atlanta as well. Thinking about heading to Colorado... who's ready?

    THE MARS VOLTA

    by Yvonne Coupland on 5/17/23Abraham Chavez Theatre - El Paso

    Great Band and Energy! Abraham Chavez Theater is great because every seat is an excellent choice. However, management needs to leave some of the doors open to allow the air conditioning to flow.

    Great Night of MUSIC at the Masquerade

    by Jon on 5/9/23The Masquerade - Heaven - Atlanta

    First time at the Masquerade. Great venue and the sound was terrific. I am normally not impressed with live sound these days, as it seems most live mixing engineers favor a bass-heavy approach combined with a “louder is better” mentality, resulting in noise that is sometimes unrecognizable as the music I came to hear. The sound at this show was clear and balanced very well, so kudos to the mix engineer for both TMV and Teri Gender Bender. Speaking of, this was the first time in recent memory that I wasn’t waiting for the opener to be finished. Teri Gender Bender has a tight band with great arrangements, and the stage presence was top notch. What a voice! See this tour if you get the chance. The Mars Volta personnel were all incredible musicians, and there were moments of improvisation that made me think of Coltrane’s and Davis’ electric days. I especially enjoyed when the keyboardist took a solo and Omar (guitar) stepped off the stage to watch and listen - I could see that he (and the rest of the band) were really listening to the solo and being amazed along with the audience, adding a genuine sense that many in attendance, including the band, really value musical talent. Great night!

    Pure perfection

    by Arq on 5/8/23The Masquerade - Heaven - Atlanta

    These guys are true masters of their craft, Omar and Cedric are still on top of their game, they have matured and with age comes focus, I would attend to more of their shows if they are near my area.
