In a statement released to the Herald from Live Nation, it was revealed the star who dabbles in singing and acting, has always been fascinated with the incredible landmark and saw it as the perfect way to promote 30 Seconds to Mars’ news.

“The building is a testament of all the things that can be done in the world if we put our minds to it, which is largely the inspiration behind our most recent album, It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day.” Jared said in the statement adding that the building and the tour both include the sentiment “anything is possible if we try”.

Set to take Auckland’s Spark Arena stage on September 19 next year, the band will play all your old favourites including The Kill, and Closer to the Edge as well as songs from their latest album – their sixth studio album – that was released earlier this year.
