30 Seconds to Mars making history

Staff Writer
Originally Appeared In

Ambitious rock band 30 Seconds to Mars are set to make history in December for performing the most shows during a single album cycle. Having been on the promotion trail for their latest record This Is War since its release in December 2009, the band will perform their 300th show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on December 7, before kicking off a week of special shows to celebrate the milestone. "We have been on the road for an incredible and insane two years and thought what better way to celebrate the end of this phenomenal journey than with a week of special shows in New York City", says singer Jared Leto. "We thought documenting this for posterity with the Guinness Book of World Records would be fun, especially as we aren't any good at growing our fingernails very long or cultivating the world's largest squash."
