Thirty Seconds to Mars presents « A Beautiful Lie vs This Is War »

On 23 April 2027, Thirty Seconds to Mars will play the Lotto Arena in Antwerp with a show that pits two key records against each other: A Beautiful Lie and This Is War. Jared and Shannon Leto will take the stage with their live band for a set that traces the shift from the rawer alt‑rock and post‑grunge influences of the mid‑2000s to the more cinematic, rhythmic and large‑scale sound of the end of that decade.

The focus is on the songs that put the band on the global map. Expect contrasting moods and dynamics: tight guitar work and direct emotion from the A Beautiful Lie era alongside choral vocals, percussion and electronic layers that define This Is War. Think of classics from both chapters — from The Kill, Attack and From Yesterday to Kings and Queens, Closer to the Edge and This Is War — in new sequences and tension arcs that highlight the link between the albums.

No detours, just a compact trip through the years in which Thirty Seconds to Mars forged its signature: earworm melodies, driving drums and choruses that set the crowd in motion. An evening for those who still sing along to these two records and for those who (re)discover them in arena format, straight from Los Angeles to Antwerp.
