Mars Volta announces more tour dates, plans stop at ACL

The Mars Volta has been there and seen it. All. For the past few months, the "progressive-rock whirlwind" has been touring through Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Europe. But come September, the duo (and all of its epic hair) will be home, sweet home again. And touring.

The band will begin the American leg of its infinite tour in Columbus, to make up for a show previously canceled twice. After a jaunt down the East coast, the tour will finish off at Austin City Limits, where they will convene with oh-so-many other amazing bands it makes us here at Paste HQ drool just a little.

Dates:

September
12 - Columbus, Ohio @ LC Amphitheater
14 - Boston, Mass. @ Orpheum Theater
17 - New York, N.Y. @ Hammerstein Ballroom
20 - Philadelphia, Pa. @ Electric Factory
23 - Asheville, N.C. @ Asheville Civic Center
24 - Atlanta, Ga. @ Tabernacle
26 - Austin, Texas @ Austin City Limits Festival
