Thirty Seconds to Mars 2027 Live in Hanover

With their new tour, "Thirty Seconds to Mars" is celebrating two of their most successful albums and will perform at the ZAG Arena in Hanover on April 20, 2027.

Jared Leto and Shannon Leto from the band Thirty Seconds to Mars — They hold the Guinness World Record for the longest tour in history (over 300 concerts): Thirty Seconds to Mars

Alternative rock band led by actor Jared Leto

When Jared Leto founded the band “Thirty Seconds to Mars” with his brother Shannon in 1998, there was a great deal of initial skepticism. Many were put off by the idea of a successful Hollywood star and heartthrob suddenly trying to make a name for himself in the music business. But Jared Leto was serious about it and forbade his record label from using his fame as an actor to market the band. Instead, the band toured tirelessly in small clubs and, bit by bit, built up an extremely loyal fan base known as the “Echelon.”

In addition, the band began refining its image early on, building it around its own symbols and Latin slogans. Their sound was heavily influenced by progressive rock and space rock. With the album *A Beautiful Lie* (2005), they finally achieved their international breakthrough. Their sound became more emotional and radio-friendly. Songs like “The Kill” and “From Yesterday” became anthems for an entire generation of emo and alternative fans.

"A Beautiful Lie" vs. "This Is War" Tour 2027

They built on this success in 2009 with their next album, *This Is War*, and the hit “Closer to the Edge,” as well as the two subsequent albums, *Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams* (2013) and *America* (2018), proving—especially with the latter—that they had lost none of the appeal of their breakthrough albums. “America” became a No. 1 album in both Austria and Germany and marks the band’s peak to date. In the U.S., the album narrowly missed the top spot on the charts, peaking at No. 2.

To further celebrate these albums, “Thirty Seconds to Mars” will return to the stage as part of a 2027 world tour that will also bring them to Germany. The tour will focus on the band’s journey so far and their connection with fans over the past 20 years. On April 20, 2027, “Thirty Seconds to Mars” will bring this musical nostalgia to the ZAG Arena in Hanover.
