Chicago jam band Hot Like Mars has announced an extensive 2026 U.S. Tour. The band’s biggest tour to date, the 26-date trek, will see Hot Like Mars make stops in cities such as Cincinnati, Denver, New York, Asheville, and their hometown of Chicago, with a show at Garcia’s on May 22.
Formed in late 2023, Hot like Mars has emerged as a national touring act after a breakthrough 2025 that saw the band embark on its first-ever East Coast tour and release two albums: the studio LP “One Way Ticket Up” and live album “The Red Tapes.” After signing with Universal Attractions Agency earlier this month, Hot like Mars looks to capitalize on its growing national fan base and touring footprint with the upcoming tour and new songs on the way.
