[MARS300] 30 Seconds to Mars dans le livre des records + concert évènement

(New York, NY Oct. 17th, 2011) – Thirty Seconds
To Mars will celebrate their 300th and final show in support of their
critically acclaimed third studio album This Is War with a special
Tribus Centum Numerarae concert at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom
on Dec. 7th, 2011. They will also set a new Guinness World Record for
the most shows played during a single album cycle. This Is War was
released in December, 2009 and the band has since circled the globe
numerous times, playing over 300 shows in almost 60 cities in 6
continents. True road warriors, they’ve sold out arenas around the world
including London’s infamous O2, the first International Lollapalooza
Festival in Santiago, Chile, played to over 75,000 people at Reading and
Leeds Festivals, 100,000 people at Rock Am Park in Germany and more.
Tickets for the Dec. 7th Hammerstein Ballroom show go on sale starting
Saturday, October 22nd at 10am EST and American Express® cardmembers can
purchase advance tickets starting today. The band is also planning a
special week of unique shows celebrating this milestone, beginning on
December 5th.

“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. We thought
documenting this for posterity with the Guiness 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,” said frontman
Jared Leto.

Thirty Seconds To Mars have cemented their status as one of the
world’s biggest rock bands since the release of This Is War which has
spawned 2-consecutive #1 singles with “Kings & Queens” and “This Is
War” and top 10 single “Closer To The Edge.” Since release, This Is War
has sold over 1.5 million albums and 1 million singles around the world.
The album is certified platinum in three countries including the UK,
Germany and Poland and has achieved gold status in seven countries
including Ireland, Austria, Belgium, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand
and South Africa.

This Is War has scored a total of seven VMA nominations and the band
won the 2010 VMA for Best Rock Video for “Kings & Queens.” They were
nominated for three 2010 MTV EMAs, winning Best Rock and were recently
nominated for three 2011 EMAs. They won Best International Band at both
the 2010 and 2011 Kerrang! Awards and also picked up the 2011 Best
Single Kerrang! for “Hurricane”. “Hurricane” which sparked controversy
around the world when it was banned on many networks also won an MTV O
award for Best NFSW Video at the 2010 inaugural ceremony.
