When it’s Thirty Seconds to Mars, adding Tahoe to an itinerary isn’t a problem.

The intergalactic popular emo rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars will perform Sept. 4 in the MontBleu Theatre. Tickets will go on sale next week, the director of marketing, Mike Donovan, told Lake Tahoe Action just before press time.

Thirty Seconds to Mars will perform in 27 countries on the tour, including Croatia, Austria, the Netherlands, France, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Hungary, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Russia, Lebanon, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Germany and the United Kingdom.
