Thirty Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto has teased that they might “finally make a rock album again”.Though forming as a rock band in 1998, Thirty Seconds To Mars have adopted a more electronic sound in recent years, with 2023’s ‘It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day‘, 2018’s ‘America’, and 2013’s ‘Love, Lust, Faith And Dreams’ leaning on pop-inspired sounds.Now, though, Leto is teasing that a return to their roots may be on the cards.

In a new video shared to Instagram, the frontman sits at his laptop with his team behind him, as they stage their joke reaction to “watching the first troll talk sh!t after we finally make a rock album again”.The video is accompanied by the caption: “Like & share if you want a Rock Album”, to which Leto himself responded with several devil horns emojis.

Leto announced the long-awaited string of shows by climbing up the Empire State Building.During the tour they played shows in South America, North America, the UK and Europe and surprised fans at the Glasgow show by unintentionally bringing a member of Jedward onto the stage.Last year, Leto looked back on the band’s previous financial struggles, and explained that there was a point where they were “millions of dollars in debt”.The dispute came around their breakthrough album, ‘A Beautiful Lie’, which arrived in 2005 and first put the band on the map.
