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

Thirty Seconds to Mars revisit the era that pushed them forward with A Beautiful Lie vs This Is War, a live set built around the two albums that changed their trajectory. Formed in Los Angeles by brothers Jared and Shannon Leto, the band moved from the atmospheric rock of their 2002 debut to tighter songwriting and bigger choruses in 2006 and 2009. On 1 May 2027 at 3Arena, Dublin, they dive back into that period, switching between the urgency of A Beautiful Lie and the widescreen charge of This Is War.

The show traces the band’s contrasts: intimate confession against rallying cries, sleek production against raw edges, heavy drums and chant-ready hooks cutting through guitars made for large rooms. Expect staples from those records to surface — The Kill or From Yesterday facing Kings and Queens, Closer to the Edge or the title track — reworked with the stagecraft they’ve honed on tour. It’s a focused return to the catalog that shaped their live identity, played with the energy of a band that knows exactly where these songs land in the room.
