The Mars Volta have announced a standalone headline concert at Mexico City’s Pepsi Center on 29 November, immediately after appearing at the Tecate Comuna festival in Puebla. The date underlines the band’s continuing relationship with Mexico, which guitarist Omar Rodríguez-López has described as personally significant and central to some of the group’s most memorable early live experiences.

The band will play Tecate Comuna on 28 November alongside leading acts including Caifanes and The Flaming Lips, before returning to the Pepsi Center, where it previously performed in 2023. Presale tickets for the Mexico City show go on sale on 1 September, with general sales beginning on 2 September; Rodríguez-López, who was partly raised in Mexico, has called Mexican audiences among the best in the world.
