Jared Leto, the lead singer of alternative rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars, recently discussed the band’s decision to tour amphitheaters this summer instead of arenas. Leto expressed his excitement about the energy and communal atmosphere of performing in amphitheaters, highlighting the upcoming show at Ruoff Music Center in Central Indiana.
Formed in the late ’90s, Thirty Seconds to Mars has evolved their sound over the years, incorporating electronic elements into their music. Their latest album, “It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day,” reflects the uncertainty of the times while also offering hope and optimism. Leto emphasized the importance of tackling big themes in their music, with tracks like “Never Not Want You,” “Seasons,” and “Life is Beautiful.”
The band’s creative process for the latest album involved collaborating on hundreds of songs before narrowing down the final tracklist. Leto’s brother, Shannon, played a significant role in the creative direction of the album. The setlist for the current tour includes a mix of new tracks and fan favorites like “Closer to the Edge” and “The Kill (Bury Me).”
After a six-year break from touring, Thirty Seconds to Mars is grateful for their dedicated fans who have supported them throughout the years. Leto expressed gratitude for the diverse fan base that spans different generations, from older fans to young kids singing along to their songs.
The upcoming show at Ruoff Music Center is set to be a memorable experience for fans of the band. With a mix of new music and classic hits, Thirty Seconds to Mars is gearing up for an unforgettable performance. Tickets for the show can be found on the Ruoff Music Center website.
