The Into the Wild Tour (also known as Hurricane Tour and the Closer to the Edge Tour) was the second worldwide concert tour by American rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars in support of the band's third studio album, This Is War. The tour reached the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia over a two-year period and it marks the first major concert tour the band has performed in North America and Australia. Along with playing arenas and amphitheatres, the tour headlined at several festivals in Europe and Australia. The tour's namesake derives from a song entitled, "The Mission", that appears on the band's eponymous debut album.
The tour was announced in November 2009 chronicling tour dates in England and Scotland. Within the following months, the tour was expanded to include additional dates in Europe, as well as, North America and Australia. In an interview with MTV News, frontman Jared Leto described the tour as an emotional celebration stating,
Leto updated fans on the tour via Twitter, where we would post status updates and pictures of rehearsals. On MARS' official website provide printable flyers for each gigs so fans and spectators can help promote the concert for their area. Additionally, the band created a weekly blog for MTV Transmission to chronicle behind the scenes adventures.
On October 16, 2011, 30 Seconds to Mars announced that they planned to break the world record for most live shows during a single album cycle, with 300 shows. The 300th show took place on December 7, 2011 and the date marked the two-year anniversary of the album's release in the UK and other parts of Europe and ended a special week-long series of shows in New York and mark the end of the Into the Wild Tour.
On the 24th November 2011, Jared posted on his Twitter page "The second secret is coming soon! #VyRT". This caused strong speculation within the echelon about various possible meanings; the most discussed that the Mars300 show would be streamed live for fans around the world. This turned out to be correct. 30 Seconds to Mars joined with uStream so that the Mars300 show would be streamed in HD around the world, including backstage footage and q + a sessions. This is the first time this has taken place.
