On a brisk, spooky evening in Los Angeles, The Marías delivered an unforgettable performance at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, a venue as ethereal as the band’s dreamy sound. The first of two sold-out nights, the concert was nothing short of magical, with the cemetery’s eerie ambiance providing the perfect backdrop for a night of music that was both haunting and electrifying.
The evening kicked off with a set from psych trio Automatic, whose moody and atmospheric sounds set the stage for what was to come. Their music, dark and brooding, perfectly matched the venue’s gothic vibes, and by the time they finished their set, the crowd was primed for the main event.

Opening with tracks from their new album “Submarine,” they brought a fresh yet familiar sound to the stage, with each song showcasing their growth as artists while staying true to the lush, sultry vibes that have become their signature.
The setlist was a perfect mix of old favorites and new material, each track delivered with outstanding energy that seemed to grow with each song. The crowd swayed and danced under the stars, fully immersed in the hypnotic rhythms and Maria Zardoya’s enchanting vocals. The new songs from “Submarine” were particularly well-received, with the band seamlessly weaving in Latin beats, smooth R&B grooves, and a touch of alternative edge that kept everyone on their toes.
What made the night truly special was the connection between the band and the audience. The Marías were on fire, feeding off the energy of the crowd and the unique atmosphere of the cemetery. It was clear that the band was as thrilled to be playing this iconic venue as the audience was to be there. Each song felt like a spell being cast, drawing everyone deeper into the world The Marías have so masterfully created.
The Marías’ performance at Hollywood Forever Cemetery was more than just a concert—it was an experience.
