American rock band 30 Seconds to Mars returns to South
Africa as part of their worldwide ‘Into the Wild Tour’.
Their music is described as ranging from rock to post-grunge
and alternative metal but the band is as well known for the creative
visual imagery of their video’s as they are for their music. In September
they won the MTV Best Rock Video Award for Kings and Queen’s. They are
also in the running for the MTV European Music Awards with three
nominations in the Best World Stage Performance, Best Rock and Best Video
categories. The awards will be decided later this year.
