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.

    The show was great but...

    by JL on 2023-09-28MTELUS - Montreal

    The show was great. The band was amazing! The energy, the talent, the sound, everything was perfect!!! But... the price for reserved seats was pretty steep and I think they oversell the space a bit because there was no room to breathe (literally touching legs and shoulders with people on either sides)! Would have been 5 stars if it was based on the performance only!

    five out of five stars for me

    by MissySings on 2022-10-10Massey Hall - Toronto

    The Mars Volta put on an AMAZING show - playing new and early stuff. They exceeded my expectations as I expected their sound would be difficult to replicate live given the complexity of their studio recordings. Amazing performance, amazing musicians. The venue is the greatest. I sat at the third level and had a clear view of the band and stage without and problems. Overall 5/5 stars for me.

    Transcendent, beautiful, moved to tears

    by Kimberley on 2022-10-09Massey Hall - Toronto

    There is not much else to say about this concert other than it was wonderful. Cedric has mastered his voice, Omar rode the line between chaos and beauty and their percussionist was the order they centered around. I could not have asked for a more lovely time. The venue was beautiful and I'm still walking around with my head in the clouds about it.

    Best I Could Have Hoped

    by Will Coke on 2022-10-08Massey Hall - Toronto

    For a band that can move so unpredictably between the familiar and unfamiliar, seeing them perform a set list of favourite hits like Roulette Dares and The Widow was fantastic. I was thrilled to hear these songs so faithfully done, given the band’s considerable ability to make alterations. The vocals were more on point than on Scab Dates (I actually cannot emphasize this enough). Cedric might have one of the hardest jobs in music. Bravo. Impressive.

    INCREDIBLE

    by Datcu man on 2022-10-08Massey Hall - Toronto

    Unreal experience. A real awakening of the soul and renassiance of the mind. Not many bands like this on this planet. True artists with real emotion and expression.

    Out of the world

    by josiah on 2022-10-08Massey Hall - Toronto

    Just an incredible experience. Mars Volta was perfection and Massey Hall has always been my favourite venue. This was my first time experiencing the new GA floor and it felt like we were so close to the band.

    Far too loud

    by Slannyfaced on 2011-10-04The Warehouse - Toronto

    Love the Volta more than life itself, but the sound there sucked ass! 2 of my friends left....I stuck it out the whole show, but I had to wear an earplug in my left ear for 3 days because it hurt so much. And no I was no where near the speakers....I couldn't even tell which song it was until about a minute in because it was so loud and distorted.....and I've seen Tool and Pantera at the same venue and they were no where near as loud....
