Remove ads

The Into the Wild Tour (also known as Hurricane Tour and the Closer to the Edge Tour) was the second worldwide concert tour by American rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars in support of the band's third studio album, This Is War. The tour reached the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia over a two-year period and it marks the first major concert tour the band has performed in North America and Australia. Along with playing arenas and amphitheatres, the tour headlined at several festivals in Europe and Australia. The tour's namesake derives from a song entitled, "The Mission", that appears on the band's eponymous debut album.[1]

Background

Perspective

The tour was announced in November 2009 chronicling tour dates in England and Scotland.[2] Within the following months, the tour was expanded to include additional dates in Europe, as well as, North America and Australia. In an interview with MTV News, frontman Jared Leto described the tour as an emotional celebration stating,

When you go out on the road, it is kind of a venture into the wild. You're with this group of pirates, from your crew to your bandmates, and you share this insane journey around the world. It's quite unlike anything else. We did a lot of shows to 20 people in a bar who were more interested in cheap drinks than they were the band. We're really excited and we're grateful for it, and we don't take it for granted at all. I remember just a few years ago there was a show where we sold 800 tickets and we couldn't believe it. The very first show on this tour is 8,000 people, and the next day there's gonna be 11,000 people there. I'm going to have to get my voice in shape![1]

Leto updated fans on the tour via Twitter, where we would post status updates and pictures of rehearsals. On MARS' official website provide printable flyers for each gigs so fans and spectators can help promote the concert for their area. Additionally, the band created a weekly blog for MTV Transmission to chronicle behind the scenes adventures.[3]

Guinness World Record

On October 16, 2011, 30 Seconds to Mars announced that they planned to break the world record for most live shows during a single album cycle, with 300 shows. The 300th show took place on December 7, 2011, and the date marked the second anniversary of the album's release in the UK and other parts of Europe and ended a special week-long series of shows in New York and mark the end of the Into the Wild Tour.[4]

VyRT

On the 24th November 2011, Jared posted on his Twitter page "The second secret is coming soon! #VyRT". This caused strong speculation within the echelon about various possible meanings; the most discussed that the Mars300 show would be streamed live for fans around the world. This turned out to be correct. 30 Seconds to Mars joined with uStream so that the Mars300 show would be streamed in HD around the world, including backstage footage and q + a sessions. This is the first time this has taken place.[5]

Critical reception

  • Scott Kara (The New Zealand Herald) criticized the show stating Leto was the main focus of the night however, he did enjoy the band's performance. He said, "The thing is, with that mohawk and his constant 'New Zealand we love you' plaudits, 30 Seconds To Mars are more about style, showmanship, and crowd participation over substance."[73]
  • Fiona McKinlay (The Herald) praised MARS' performance in Scotland stating,"From the opening run of Escape and Night Of The Hunter to the gentle comedown that 100 Suns provided, the newer songs aspire to the same monstrous, theatrical brilliance, but quite simply do it better. They’ve grown into a more intense, more poignant, and more unpredictable force."[74]
  • Sandra Bahbah (Perth Now) wrote the performance was long-awaited but felt the show wasn't what many expected. She states, "Vocally, Leto was strong throughout the show, hitting all the high notes. The one gripe was how he kept getting the crowd to sing and sometimes they just didn't know the words. It would have been better if he had just sang a song all the way through. While his voice was loud, at times it was drowned out by the instruments, but there was no denying the stage presence of the trio and how good they were at entertaining the masses."[75]
  • Tanya Vega (Chicago Music Guide) was blown away by MARS' performance at the Aragon Ballroom stating, "Un-expect the unexpected from Jared and the guys ...meaning, it'll be hard to predict what will happen next at the Mars concert you attend compared to what happened tonight in Chicago."[17]
