Jared Leto has stunned Thirty Seconds To Mars fans by climbing the Empire State Building. The Oscar-winning actor is the frontman for the globe-conquering rock band and the daring stunt was staged to draw attention to the band's freshly announced Seasons 2024 World Tour.
That world tour will be making its way to Australia when the band set to play at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on 12th September 2024, ahead of further shows at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, and finally Brisbane’s Riverstage, before heading over to New Zealand. General on-sale for the Australian tour begins at 1 pm (local), on Friday 17 November. For complete tour and ticket information, visit: livenation.com.au.
An avid climber, Leto became the first man to ever legally climb the Empire State Building. The feat was inspired by Leto's childhood fascination with the New York landmark. “The building is a testament to all the things that can be done in the world if we put our minds to it, which is largely the inspiration behind our most recent album, It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day.”
Watch the climb below.
The band released their highly anticipated sixth studio album It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day in September. The single Seasons showcases the shimmery pop-rock side of the Jared Leto-fronted multi-platinum rockers. Lyrically, Seasons asks if we can accept change as we move through the many different seasons of life, with Jared and his brother and bandmate Shannon venturing unashamedly towards pure pop songcraft and production.
The band headlined two sold-out official Lollapalooza Aftershows at Chicago’s House of Blues, where they debuted Seasons. The band also made their eagerly-awaited return to the festival’s main stage for the first time since 2006. Forbes called their performance a “visual spectacle” with “an entrance that will be hard to top,” in reference to Jared jumping from the roof of the stage to start the set. The band were also joined by surprise guest, Bryan Garris of hardcore band Knocked Loose, lending his signature vocals to the classic single, The Kill (Bury Me).
It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day is new sonic territory for the band, with tightly arranged, concise songs that focus on emotive, straight-from-the-heart vocals and intentional instrumentation and production. The album's 11 songs explore new feelings and colours while taking solace in the elemental: love, seizing the moment, heartbreak, and ultimately, transcendence.
