After officially re-forming about a year ago, the influential post-hardcore group At the Drive-In will at last perform a hometown show in El Paso, the group announced Wednesday in a news release.

The El Paso-born five-piece will kick-off a 21-city tour May 6 at the El Paso County Coliseum, 4100 E. Paisano Drive. Tickets go on sale March 3 at atthedriveinmusic.com "and participating local outlets," according to a post on Facebook by concert organizers Splendid Sun Productions. No other ticket information was given.

Along with additional tour dates, the group, formed in El Paso in 1994, also announced it will release its first album since 2000’s “Relationship of Command.” At the Drive-In will release the album “Inter Alia” on May 5.

At the Drive-In released the second song from the album, “Incurably Innocent,” on Wednesday to coincide with the album and tour announcement. The group released its first new song since disbanding in 2001, “Governed by Contagions,” last year.

The band returned to the scene, featuring all of its classic lineup, minus guitarist and El Paso business-owner Jim Ward, in 2016. The group announced a 27 date North American and European tour in January 2016, but no El Paso date was included.
