After nearly two years of non-stop, worldwide touring, including a few stops in the LA area, 30 Seconds to Mars received a hometown welcome Saturday night playing to a completely sold out Gibson Amphitheater. Frontman Jared Leto, always the showman, did not disappoint the 8000+ devoted "Echelon" fans imploring them to "reach deep and let go" and to "have the time of their lives."

30 Seconds to Mars - Fox Theater, 01/14/11
After nearly a year straight of sold out shows worldwide, 30 Seconds to Mars, led by Jared Leto, returned home to the Los Angeles area with a date at the historic Fox Theater in Pomona Friday night. “This is the best date we have had on tour so far! But don’t tell anyone that,” Leto told his adoring “Echelon”, the group of die hard Mars fans. The actor-singer has made it clear in the past that he wants his two careers to be separate and that this is not just a Jared Leto vanity project with his name attached to draw crowds, but a true passion. However, the one aspect that is impossible to keep separate between the two is Leto’s theatricality and flair for the dramatic.

Midnight Movie: Jared Leto's New Video Features LA and Midnight Ridazz Bikers
Jared Leto and hundreds of Midnight Ridazz bikers take over the streets of LA in the new 30 Seconds to Mars video, "Kings + Queens". We like watching as they head over the Sixth Street Bridge, through the Second Street Tunnel, around Hollywood and Highland, and finally hit the edge of the Santa Monica Pier as the Ridazz show off LA's unique and growing bike culture. We think it's pretty cool that they name each rider at the end too!
