Neo-prog gods The Mars Volta have announced Splendour sideshows in August.
In February, one half of the band Cedric Bixler-Zavala revealed that they were almost finished on their sixth album.
And The Mars Volta will be in Australia mid-year for Splendour, hopefully showcasing new songs.
But diehard fans (and are there any other kind for The Mars Volta?) can get also their heads warped at sideshows in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide.
Frontier members get a crack at tickets from midday on Tuesday 7 June and the rest can but tickets from 9am on Thursday 9 June.
Sydney and Melbourne through Ticketek and Adelaide through Venuetix. Sydney and Adelaide are all ages and Melbourne is an 18 and over show.
