US prog rockers The Mars Volta have announced that they will release a new live album, Lucro Sucio; Unfinished Business, as a digital release on September 4 and as a physical release on October 16.

The band have also shared their brand new single, Cue The Sun/Alba del Orate, which you can listen to below.

The new live album, the band's first official live release since 2005’s Scabdates, was the result of an interactive campaign which allowed the band's fans access to live recordings from their 2025 tour, featuring audio previews from multiple live recordings and a voting mechanism that allowed fans to choose which specific performances make the final cut for the album.

Lucro Sucio; Unfinished Business will be available across three distinct configurations, allowing physical collectors to choose between a Special Edition CD Digipak or a limited Edition 2LP vinyl set to be released on October 16, as well as a launch on all major streaming platforms as a digital album enhanced with Dolby Atmos spatial audio on September 4.
