Deftones’ highly anticipated headlining tour kicked off at Portland, OR’s Moda Center on the night of February 25, also marking the beginning for Mars Volta being the opening performance which left many attendees buzzing. Brooklyn Vegan reported, the band surprised the crowd with an all-new set of material, which appears to be a preview of their upcoming ninth album.

Rumors about The Mars Volta’s new album, titled Lucro Sucio; Los Ojos del Vacío, have been circulating for about a month, with speculation pointing toward an April release. While the band hasn’t officially confirmed these details, their Tuesday night setlist seemed to align with the leaked track list, offering fans a taste of what’s to come.

The Mars Volta will be joining Deftones on the road throughout April, with stops including Madison Square Garden in New York City on April 3 and Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, on April 9. 

In addition to the music, Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala have a new documentary available for streaming titled Omar and Cedric: If This Ever Gets Weird. The film is available on various platforms offering fans a closer look at the duo behind The Mars Volta. It shares the story of Rodríguez-López and Bixler-Zavala, two outsiders from El Paso who developed a meaningful musical relationship. The documentary uses hundreds of hours of video filmed by Rodríguez-López, beginning with their debut as their post-hardcore band At The Drive-In.
