Jared Leto Climbs Empire State Building to Promote Upcoming Thirty Seconds to Mars World Tour

Leto scales the Empire State Building in honor of his band's first headlining world tour in five years, set to begin in Buenos Aires on March 15, 2024.

Jared Leto, Oscar-winning actor and frontman of Thirty Seconds to Mars, legally climbed the Empire State Building as a publicity stunt for his band's first headlining world tour in five years, set to begin in Buenos Aires on March 15, 2024.
Leto wore a bright orange jumpsuit and used a rope and harness to scale the iconic landmark in New York City, taking about 20 minutes to climb from the 86th to 104th floors and reaching an altitude of over 1,300 feet.
The daring climb marked the first time anyone has legally scaled the full height of the Empire State Building. Leto, an avid climber, has been known for his daring stunts, having previously scaled a hotel wall in Berlin without a harness.
The actor stated the motivation behind the climb was tied to the band's upcoming album, 'It's The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day.' He called the Empires State Building 'a testament of all the things that can be done in the world if we put our minds to it,' echoing themes in the new album.
The 'Massive Seasons 2024' tour, announced at the summit of the climb, will take Thirty Seconds to Mars across Latin America, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, marking the group's most extensive tour in over five years.
