The next act to take the stage was the dynamic duo of brothers, Jared and Shannon Leto, better known as Thirty Seconds to Mars. As the lights dimmed, a massive countdown clock illuminated the stage, starting at 100 and ticking down. The anticipation in the venue was palpable, with the energy crackling through the air. As the clock reached 10 seconds, the excitement reached a fever pitch.
On the screen, the band appeared, making their way towards the stage, their images looming large and commanding the attention of the crowd. They egged on the audience, encouraging them to cheer even louder, amplifying the already electrifying atmosphere in the room. The countdown was a thrilling build-up to what promised to be an unforgettable performance by Thirty Seconds to Mars.
As the countdown hit one second, the anticipation in the air was palpable. Suddenly, the band emerged from the rear of the stage, with Jared leading the way, clad in a kilt and cape. The crowd erupted in cheers as they launched into their opening song, the electrifying “Up In The Air.” The stage was soon filled with a dazzling display of confetti bursting from cannons positioned all around.
This was just the beginning of an unforgettable night with the band, known for their spectacular pyrotechnic displays. The energy in the venue was electric as they continued to wow the audience with hits like “Kings and Queens” from their album “This is War.” The crowd sang along at the top of their lungs, completely immersed in the music and the magic of the performance. It was a night to remember, a true feast for the senses, as the band delivered an unforgettable show that left everyone in awe.
Jared excitedly addressed the fans, inviting them to join him on stage to dance to the catchy tunes of “Rescue Me” from the America album. Although this moment seemed to come a bit early in the set, it proved to be a hit with the audience. The illuminated Triangle on stage showcased stunning visuals throughout the show, occasionally creating a silhouette of Jared as he performed. However, at times, the dazzling display made it difficult to spot Jared at the back of the stage. Despite this, standout moments from the electric part of the show included the crowd-favourite “Hail To The Victor,” which had everyone singing along at the top of their lungs, and the mesmerizing performance of “Beautiful Lie” that closed out the electric section on a high note.
As the concert progressed, the time arrived for the acoustic portion of the set. Despite the anticipation, Jared, the lead vocalist, appeared to be having difficulty with his vocals on some songs. The atmosphere had shifted dramatically from the energetic beginning of the show with balloons and confetti flying everywhere. However, amidst these challenges, there were still a few standout moments during the acoustic section. The hauntingly beautiful rendition of “City of Angels” captivated the audience, while the powerful performance of “Attack” from the album “A Beautiful Lie” left a lasting impact. As the band concluded their set and exited the stage, the crowd was left in awe of the emotional journey they had just experienced.
The band made a triumphant return to the stage, kicking off their set with the energetic new song “Stuck”. The crowd was in high spirits, enthusiastically singing along to the fan favourite “The Kill (Bury Me)”. The band ended the set on a high note with the anthemic “Closer to the Edge”, leaving the audience wanting more. As they bid farewell to the Glasgow audience, Shannon, the drummer, made a memorable gesture by handing out his drumsticks to lucky fans at the front of the stage on the catwalk. The night was filled with unforgettable moments and the band’s performance left a lasting impression on all who were in attendance.
Last night was truly unforgettable, filled with captivating theatrical performances and an absolutely dazzling set.
