The Mars Volta have announced that they will play a standalone UK show later this summer.
The show will take place at London’s HMV Forum on 15 July. The one-off gig sees the group touring off the back of latest album Noctourniquet, released earlier in the year.
The band’s guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala are currently juggling the band with the live schedule of the recently-reformed At The Drive-In.
The date for that lone Mars Volta gig again is as follows:
July
15 – HMV Forum, London
