Thirty Seconds to Mars Presents A Beautiful Lie vs This Is War

Thirty Seconds to Mars bring their format A Beautiful Lie vs This Is War to the Velodrom in Berlin on April 18, 2027. Jared and Shannon Leto set two albums against each other that trace their journey from edgy alternative rock to anthemic, electronically charged arrangements. The set moves between these two worlds: the direct riffs and melodic hooks of A Beautiful Lie meet the big choruses, punchy drums and dense layers of This Is War.

Expect a dramaturgically structured setlist that places classics like The Kill, From Yesterday and Attack alongside Kings and Queens, This Is War and Closer to the Edge — sometimes close to the originals, sometimes with fresh transitions and extended instrumental passages. The band plays with dynamics, incorporates call-and-response moments and pulls the audience into collective refrains. Visual elements and percussive breaks add accents without diverting attention from the songs.

An evening that showcases the band’s range: intimate and direct, then expansive and driving again — two chapters, one dialogue, live and without detours.
