Molotov Tickets

Molotov in Concert

With three Latin Grammys under their belt, Molotov -- sometimes described as the Mexican Rage Against the Machine-- brought their heavy grooves to live audiences for another round in 2013. As 2012's live tour CD, "Desde Rusia Con Amor," showed, these rap/metal rockers are doing anything but mellowing with age. In 2013's Jagermeister Music Tour, ticket holders were treated to Molotov's signature double bass sound along with heavy guitar riffs augmenting their explicit, politically charged lyrics. Their concerts are heavy on audience participation, with crowds chanting along with their anthemic hits when they're not moshing in the inevitable pit. Just to prove that the audience isn't having more fun than the band, Molotov members often switch instruments during the show, giving a loose, communal feel to the music. They consider themselves primarily a live band, so even when they're not coming off a proper album release, they're always writing and performing new songs live.

Molotov got their start in Mexico City in 1995 and, after a few early lineup changes, quickly settled into the quartet we've seen since. In 1997, their debut album "?Dónde Jugarán las Ni?as?" made them instant targets for censorship as stores banned their CDs for their explicit content. This didn't stop them from becoming the day's leading Latin hip hop band, and they followed up their initial success with the albums, "Apocalypshit" and "Dance and Dense Denso," which contained their biggest hit, "Frijolero." They've won three Latin Grammys, including Best Rock Album for "Eternamiente" and for "Desde Rusia Con Amor." Never ones to shy away from controversy, Molotov continues to speak out against corruption and authority and deliver unforgettable grooves to go along with the message.
