Thirty Seconds To Mars took to the skyline of New York City to announce they are heading to the UK in their latest large-scale world tour in 2024. To make this announcement, the US rock band took themselves to new heights and climbed the Empire State Building, not only as a new climbing feat for frontman Jared Leto, but also as a way to represent what the album means for the band.
The Seasons World Tour comes as a celebration of the band’s latest album It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day which was released in September this year. The band also posted a short video of them performing one of their latest songs at the very top of the tower.
Leto took to Instagram to state, “As many of you also know, I love to climb. It’s one of the few things I’ve found that takes me away from some of the pressures of life and helps me to find a bit of freedom and equanimity. In a lot of ways, this album is about following your dreams and pushing yourself to do the seemingly impossible.”
It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day comes as the first album from the band without guitarist Tomo Miličevic, leaving brothers Jared and Shannon Leto as the sole members. British writers on the album include the likes of Steve Mac, Dave Gibson and even Ed Sheeran.
On social media, and in reference to the importance of the Empire State Building, Jared also stated, “I’ve had a fascination with the Empire State Building, the “world’s number one attraction”, since I was a kid. Not sure if it was Guinness world records, King Kong, but something about this iconic structure always captured my imagination. Built in just 13 short months, in one of the greatest cities in the world it has always been a powerful symbol to me of all the possibilities in life.”
The Seasons Tour, beginning in March in the US, the band will make their way over to Glasgow in April where they will start their UK and European leg of the tour. Here they have booked some of the largest venues in the country, from the AO Arena in Manchester, to the O2 in London.
This tour comes as their first time returning to the UK after almost 9 years with their previous tour, The Monolith Tour, in 2018.
“We are so excited to get back out on the road and to come see you in so many amazing places all over the world,” the band stated, “It’s been too long. We miss you. We love you. We’ll see you very soon!!!”
