Thirty Seconds To Mars have announced plans for arena shows in the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe next year, featuring setlists focussing on their A Beautiful Lie and This Is War albums.

“Two iconic albums! One unforgettable night!” the band declared on their social media channels announcing the tour, which will launch at the MEO Arena in Lisbon, Portugal on April 6, 2027.

The album has sold over 1.2 million copies in the US, and was certified platinum in both the UK and Germany.

Earlier this year, British comedian Jack Whitehall revealed that Thirty Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto requested that he be introduced as "the biggest rock star on the planet" when Whitehall was presenting the BRIT awards.

Whitehall told BBC Radio 2: "He didn’t like his intro, and then during the show, whilst I was up on stage hosting it, one of the producers found him by the autocue with his publicist changing my script, actually deleting the intro and typing in his own one."
