Thirty Seconds to Mars is in South Africa for two exciting performances in Johannesburg and Cape Town, don’t worry about us Durbanites we have, wait for it…………….The Beach boys…………AND!……………Vanilla Ice……………to keep us entertained, so there!

Anyway, yes Jared Leto and the boys will be giving it all on stage in Johannesburg and Cape Town this weekend………………………… I will be going to the dam on Saturday as I live in Durban.

Their latest release ‘This is War’ has been called their strongest and most accomplished work to date spending 12 weeks on the 5FM Top 40. For this they enlisted two of the most influential producers in the world: Flood (U2, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Smashing Pumpkins) and Steve Lillywhite (U2, Rolling Stone, Peter Gabriel) who gave the band freedom and confidence to explore different sound, textures and ideas. The album represents the result of an 18 month creative battle, fought ferociously, but privately inside a studio in the Hollywood Hills. The result: a triumphant sound that builds on the vision laid out in their previous releases.

Apparently the Johannesburg concert is sold out, but there is still availability in Cape Town so get down there and book your tickets now!

To all those lucky individuals, we hope you have a fantastic evening, take a helmet with as I believe the concerts can get quite rowdy, but I wouldn’t know would I?
