though what better way to celebrate the end of this phenomenal journey
than with a week of special shows in New York City,” frontman
Jared Leto said in a statement. “We thought documenting this for posterity with
the Guinness Book of World Records would be fun especially as we aren’t
any good at growing our fingernails very long or cultivating the world’s
largest squash.”
Formed in 1998, the Los Angeles based band also consists of
Tomo Milicevic and Leto’s brother,
Shannon Leto. The group is currently up for a 2011 EMA, after earning a slew of international honors during the 2010 awards cycle.
This Is War spawned two consecutive No. 1 singles with
“Kings & Queens” and “This Is War,” in addition to the top 10 single
“Closer to the Edge.” The album has sold more than 1.5 million copies
and 1 million singles worldwide.

30 Seconds to Mars released This Is War in December 2009 and have spent basically every waking moment since on the road promoting it (when they weren't making 15-minute, NFSW mini-movies,
of course). To date, they've played shows on six continents, and now,
all that touring will earn them a place in the "Guinness Book of World
Records."
On December 7, 30STM will perform their 300th — and final —
show in support of War, at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom. And when
that gig is completed, they'll officially set the record for Most Shows
Performed During a Single Album Cycle.
That's according to a press
release issued Monday (October 17) by the band's spokesperson, which
touts the show as "a special Tribus Centum Numerarae concert" and
promises that "the band is also planning a special week of unique shows
celebrating this milestone, beginning on December 5."
"We have been
on the road for an incredible and insane two years and thought what
better way to celebrate the end of this phenomenal journey than with a
week of special shows in New York City," 30STM frontman Jared Leto said
in a statement. "We thought documenting this for posterity with the
'Guinness Book of World Records' would be fun especially as we aren't
any good at growing our fingernails very long or cultivating the world's
largest squash."
Don't downplay a giant squash, dude. Tickets for
the record-setting show are now available in an exclusive fan-club
pre-sale through the band's website, with tickets being made available to the general public beginning Saturday at 10 a.m. ET.
