One of the most devastating moments in rock ‘n roll in the new millennium was the breakup of the critically acclaimed and highly inspirational post-hardcore band, At the Drive-In. The group broke up shortly after they took the music world by storm with their third full-length record “Relationship of Command” upsetting many diehard and new fans.

The group broke up for personal reasons and they split into two camps, each creating their own bands. Jim Ward, Paul Hinojos, and Tony Hajjar went on to form Sparta, a straight forward indie/post hardcore band. While Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriquez-Lopez went on to form Mars Volta a highly eclectic prog rock group.

Bixler-Zavala has always been known for his animated theatrics on stage, constantly bouncing around the entire stage, collapsing into a heap while he pours his falsetto voice into the microphone. Equally as entertaining his guitar wizard Rodriquez-Lopez, whose riffs dominate a Mars Volta concert which often delve into several minutes of captivating solo work.

The Mars Volta are very crafty during their live performances, rather than playing their songs as they were recorded they’ll dive into jam tangents that can easily last up to 10 minutes creating an entirely original composition for their fans. No Mars Volta show is the same, which is quite fitting for a band as unique as them.

The Mars Volta Announce 13-Date Reunion Tour

Early Tuesday (June 21),  The Mars Volta  unveiled their first new song in a decade, " Blacklight Shine ," after the once-disbanded post-hardcore prog-rockers teased their return over the preceding two days with an  audio-visual art installation .

Now, The Mars Volta's first live shows in the same span have been announced. See the dates down toward the bottom of this post. Tickets go on sale this Thursday (June 23).

"Blacklight Shine" is The Mars Volta's first studio material since 2012's  Noctourniquet  album and the band's subsequent breakup. The new song is a poppy, Latin-influenced, percussion-heavy number that finds singer  Cedric Bixler-Zavala dipping into Spanish. It has an accompanying short film as a music video — watch it below.

Bixler-Zavala and guitarist  Omar Rodriguez-Lopez  formed The Mars Volta after the 2001 breakup of their band  At the Drive-In . At the Drive-In's  Jim Ward formed Sparta . The Mars Volta thereafter released six studio albums, starting with 2003's De-Loused in the Comatorium , which features Red Hot Chili Peppers ' Flea  on bass. At the Drive-In briefly reunited in 2011 and 2016. Bixler-Zavala and Rodriguez-Lopez moonlighted as the garage rockers  Antemasque in 2014.

“Don’t you pretend that I’m not alive” were the first words whispered by the Mars Volta vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala’s during the group’s reunion stop in New York City on Sept. 29. The tour, in support of a new self-titled record that marks the end of a decade-long hiatus for the Texas rockers, is a reminder not only that the group itself is back but keenly aware of their legacy as a taut, adventurous live act ready to blend genres at a breakneck pace.

Popular on Variety

In fact, half of the show’s setlist was devoted to that signature album, yet fan favorites felt reinvigorated thanks to bold arrangements which unveiled new textures. While bandleaders Bixler-Zavala and Rodriguez-Lopez had an undeniable chemistry which gave the songs color as they would improvise new runs and fills, the rest of the musicians — bassist Josh Moreau, keyboard player and percussionist Marcel Rodriguez-López, keyboard player Leo Genovese and drummer Linda-Philomène Tsoungui — kept the groove-heavy base steady.

The band was so locked in that even slight new songs like “Blacklight Shine” fit comfortably. Yet the indelible moments belonged to the mix of Bixler-Zavala’s wail, Rodriguez-Lopez’s shredding, the rhythm section’s structure and a bed of noise that evoked Pink Floyd’s “Echoes” at its most yearning. In a performance filled with this much life, it was clear that the Mars Volta’s roaring live show has returned fully intact.

THE MARS VOLTA Announces June 2024 Tour

THE MARS VOLTA has announced an upcoming string of live dates taking place this June with support from special guest TERI GENDER BENDER . Tickets go on sale this Friday, February 16 at 10 a.m. local time.

The band is confirmed to perform a set at this year's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival , taking place June 14 in Manchester, Tennessee.

THE MARS VOLTA continues to support its most recent albums, "The Mars Volta" and "Que Dios Te Maldiga Mi Corazón" . The dates announced today are cities the band have yet to perform in since their return to performing together.

The upcoming film "Omar And Cedric: If This Ever Gets Weird" was recently announced to have its North American premiere at the upcoming SXSW Festival . The film shows the iconic duo’s journey from the hardcore scene in El Paso, Texas, to rock and roll acclaim; from growing up as minorities to their rise to success; from struggles with loss, and addiction to their blazing comeback. A depiction of love, death, and inspiration — with a soundtrack that has defined a generation. It was directed by Nicolas Jack Davies and produced by Clouds Hill Films in association with Pulse Films .

Tour dates:

June 06 - Val Air Ballroom - Des Moines, IA June 08 - The Sylvee - Madison, WI June 09 - Egyptian Room at Old National Centre - Indianapolis, IN June 10 - The Admiral Theatre - Omaha, NE June 12 - Kemba Live! - Columbus, OH June 14 - Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival - Manchester, TN

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. On a 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 kept up an insistent drum-beat for their return.
