Thirty Seconds to Mars began the “Into the Wild” tour in early 2010 in support of their 3rd studio album This Is War (EMI’s Virgin Records). The first leg of the tour took them to 89 cities in 27 countries where they played in front of over 1.3 million ecstatic fans. The European leg of the tour was the band’s first arena headline tour and they sold out shows around the globe including gigs at London’s Wembley Arena and Paris’ Bercy Arena. The band will play festivals in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Israel, and throughout Eastern Europe before returning home for the new U.S. dates.

This Is War was released in December, 2009 and has since spawned 2 hit singles. The first single “Kings & Queens” shot to #1 at alternative radio where it remained for 3-consecutive weeks. The follow-up “This Is War” has spent the last 8 weeks at #2 on the chart. “Closer To The Edge” has been selected as the album’s third single and will impact radio next month. It is already climbing the airplay charts across Europe and has been A-listed on Radio One in the UK.

Alternative Press praised This Is War with 4/5 stars and The Los Angeles Times declared that the album is “the most confident sounding thing the band has done.” This Is War debuted at #2 on the alternative album and digital album chart, selling nearly 71,000 albums in the first week of release. The album has 2000 different album covers, as friends, fans, musicians, artists and many other notable persons submitted their own photos to be used on individual covers as part of the band’s innovative Faces of Mars campaign.
