30 Seconds to Mars, after a round of shows in Europe and South Africa, will be returning to the tour circuit in the US in 2011 to continue to support “This Is War,” their album from last year.

The rock band based out of Los Angeles and fronted by singer/actor Jared Leto, will be wrapping their international itinerary up in the middle of December before they take the stage on New Year’s Eve at Pearl Concert Theater in Las Vegas.  The rock trio, approximately two week later, will be kicking off their U.S. leg in San Diego with a stand of two nights.  Their run of 16 cities will span the nation, with stops at college campuses and clubs through the early part of February.

“This Is War,” the third studio album from 30 Seconds to Mars, was released late last year.  The 12 track set was produced by Steve Lilywhite (Dave Matthews Band, U2) and Flood (the Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode).  It peaked at the No. 19 spot on Billboard’s 200 chart.

The band earlier this month was named Best Rock Band at MTV’s EMA Awards held in Madrid, Spain.  30 Seconds to Mars, along with Kayne West performed “Hurricane,” their new single, in the song’s premiere television performance.  According to a recent press release, the song’s video will be released shortly.  A teaser can be accessed by fans on the website of the band’s.

The alt-rockers band 30 Seconds To Mars announced a series of dates for late fall coinciding with the soon to be released “This Is War,” their long anticipated new album.

The ten dates begin in Salt Lake City on November 30, kicking a week off before the release date of the new album on December 8. The band from Los Angeles will celebrate the drop of the album with a Baton Rogue, LA show followed by three Midwest stops.

The new album “This is War” is the third studio set for the group and first since “A Beautiful Lie” in 2005. “King and Queens,” one of the album’s new tracks, is streaming on the band’s website.

30 Seconds to Mars, led by singer/guitarist/actor Jared Leto, worked with the producers Steve Lilywhite (U2, Rolling Stones) and Flood (Nine Inch Nail, Depeche Mode) on their new album.

The band has also rallied their fan community, which goes by the name of The Echelon. In April the band invited them to the Avalon Club in Hollywood, CA for a recording session that was completely impromptu called “The Summit.” Fans by the hundreds responded to the opportunity of contributing percussion and vocals on the new album. Due to the experience being so successful, the decision was made by the band to host but not attend an additional eight summits during the summer in countries all over the world, including Mexico, Italy and Australia.

Leto said in a Kerrang magazine interview, something magical occurs when people come together as a group and share in a public experience. Then we harness the collective consciousness, the energy, and apply that in a way that is musical.
