MUSIC INDUSTRY NEWS #2

30 Seconds to Mars have released their new album 'Love, lust, faith and dreams' this year and to go with it they are touring. However, for them that was not enough excitement. They wanted to send their new song 'Up in the air' to space. 

The song went aboard SpaceX CRS-2 as the lead single from the album, and was made available to the Expedition 34 crew and the Expedition 35 crew also aboard the International Space Station to play upon berthing on March 4, 2013. The single itself was released on March 19, 2013 and was available immediately on Itunes. "Up in the Air" was nominated for Best Video at the Kerrang! Awards 2013 due to the publicity! 

The band is touring this year after performing at Download Festival in June (which I attended but not on the day they performed, sadly!). This boosted their publicity as they performed mainly songs from their new album. Their tour starts in November and I will be seeing them in Nottingham on the 21st! You me at six will be supporting them.
