The Mars Volta Announce They’re Touring Their Classic Material in 2026

Wait 5 sec.

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.(opens in a new window)The Mars Volta 2026 Tour(opens in a new window)Available at StubHubBuy Now(opens in a new window)It’s really a super-limited run, though. Hopefully they are just trying it out before announcing more dates.
