30 SECONDS TO MARS

Yesterday my brother, Ben, and I went to see 30 seconds to mars at Nottingham the Capital FM arena. It was incredible! The support act was You Me At Six and they were a great warm up act. Really got the crowd going and had loads of energy. But 30 seconds really nailed it! 

They had amazing lighting, huge balloons with tinsel in to burst, paper streamers and much more. The screens behind the band played some amazing video clips in sync with the music and the had 3 small screens that rotated with lights on to get some cool positions. The extra entertainment came from some members of the Cirque du Soleil who performed in a giant hoop and with a seesaw. It was epic!

Jared Leto was absolutely incredible. His voice is amazing and he really went all out. He did some acoustic stuff by himself as well as the big numbers. There was lots from previous albums, including The Kill! :) He can be a bit foul mouthed at times but he went up in my estimation during his acoustic set when he wanted to bring a fan onstage and then he saw this 4 year old girl called Ivy. She was wearing her dads old 30 seconds t-shirt and had ear defenders on sitting on her dads shoulders. How cool are those parents to take her to see them?! But anyway, Jared pulled her on stage, asked her some questions and then sat her down and sang Albi to her. It was amazing. She clearly was a bit bemused by all the fuss but what an epic story to tell when she's older! 

Check out some of the pictures and the video of Jared singing. It was an amazing night. I'm so glad I didn't sell the tickets when Andrew went away and took Ben instead. It was worth it. Sorry Andrew but you missed a good thing! 







Blurry England flag photo that he waved around for quite a while. 


I didn't intentionally capture this but its part of his lyrics which had cool typography and when I took the photo this is what it captured. :)



This is Ivy. Its blurry but you get the idea! I think a few girls may have fallen that bit more in love with him because of this stunt.
