Thirty Seconds To Mars Summer Tour Countdown Begins As Jared Leto Teases Shows

Jared Leto is officially in countdown mode for the upcoming Thirty Seconds to Mars summer tour. The Oscar-winning actor and frontman of the rock band recently shared an exciting update with fans on Instagram, announcing that there are just two months remaining until the band hits the road.

“2 months until @30secondstomars Summer Tour kicks off,” Leto posted alongside the rock-hand emoji. The Instagram post is a reel that features what appears to be concert footage or promotional material for the upcoming tour, showing a portion of a video from a concert where the crowd is singing “The Kill (Bury Me)” led by Jared Leto, building anticipation among the band’s devoted fanbase.

The summer tour announcement comes at a significant time for the band, as they’re also celebrating the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album “A Beautiful Lie.” This milestone has recently become a focal point of the band’s activities and social media presence.

Celebrating 20 Years Of ‘a Beautiful Lie’

In recent weeks, Leto has been heavily promoting a special anniversary show for “A Beautiful Lie” (often tagged as #ABL20 in his posts). The celebration will include a performance at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on August 16, where the band plans to play the album in its entirety.

“IT’S OFFICIAL. A Beautiful Lie turns 20, and we’re celebrating with a MASSIVE show at the Kia Forum – playing the album front to back,” Leto announced in a previous post. “LA, THIS ONE’S FOR YOU. TICKETS & VIP ON SALE NOW. TAG YOUR CREW. SEE YOU THERE.”

The enthusiasm for this anniversary show has been palpable, with Leto noting in another post that tickets were “going fast” and advising fans to “Buy now, cry later.” He’s also hinted at possibly bringing the #ABL20 celebrations to New York City as well, referencing a 2011 performance at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

The Multi-hyphenate Artist

For those unfamiliar with Leto’s dual career, the 52-year-old has successfully balanced life as both a Hollywood actor and a rock musician for decades. Leto first rose to prominence for his role as Jordan Catalano in the television series “My So-Called Life” (1994-1995). He has since starred in numerous films, including “Requiem for a Dream,” “Dallas Buyers Club” (for which he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor), “Suicide Squad,” and “House of Gucci.”

Leto formed Thirty Seconds to Mars in 1998 with his brother Shannon Leto. Their second album, “A Beautiful Lie,” released in 2005, was their commercial breakthrough, achieving platinum status in several countries. The band has continued to release music over the years, with their most recent album being “It’s the End of the World but It’s a Beautiful Day” (2023).

What To Expect From The Summer Tour

While specific details about the upcoming summer tour setlist haven’t been fully revealed, fans can likely expect a mix of the band’s greatest hits along with tracks from their most recent album. Given the concurrent celebration of “A Beautiful Lie,” it’s possible that songs from this album will feature prominently in the tour performances as well.

The timing of the tour aligns perfectly with the #ABL20 celebration, creating what promises to be a memorable summer for Thirty Seconds to Mars fans across the country. For many longtime followers, this will be an opportunity to not only hear new music but also to revisit the songs that first drew them to the band nearly two decades ago.

As the countdown continues and summer approaches, fans are encouraged to secure their tickets for both the regular tour dates and the special anniversary show in Los Angeles.
