Spotlight: Twenty One Pilots Auckland Headline Show

Not only chart-smashing, Grammy award winning pop / rock / rap stars, but also in the Guinness® Book of World Records for "longest music video" (177 days 16 hours 10 minutes 25 seconds long!), Twenty One Pilots are bringing The Clancy World Tour to Auckland's Spark Arena on 17th November. Achieving streaming success in the multiple billions for their global smash hits 'Stressed Out', 'Heathens' and 'Ride' (more than 33 billion global streams altogether and rising), the phenomenally successful Columbus, Ohio duo of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun have just unveiled their seventh studio album Clancy, nine years following 2015's breakout Blurryface.

Conceived as a visual album, Clancy completes the dystopian narrative begun with 2018's Trench (which hit number one on the NZ charts) — following "the titular character as he returns to Trench to free his fellow citizens of Dema after he escaped and was granted a "miraculous power"" — preceded by lead singles 'Overcompensate', 'Next Semester' and 'Backslide'. Arriving in Aotearoa at the height of their own powers, don't miss Twenty One Pilots this spring...

Here's their gigantic 2015 hit 'Stressed Out' from Blurryface...

Press release:

Having amassed over 33 billion streams worldwide and over 3 million tickets sold across global headline tours, the Columbus, OH based duo of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun have established themselves as one of the most successful bands of the 21st century and redefined the sound of a generation. Co-produced by Joseph and Paul Meany, Clancy marks the final chapter in an ambitious multi-album narrative first introduced in the band's 2015 multi-Platinum breakthrough, Blurryface. Furthermore, Clancy’s forthcoming release on May 17th coincides with the 9th anniversary of Blurryface, which was released exactly nine years prior to the day.

Twenty One Pilots extended the ambitious concept laid out in Blurryface with their 2018 Platinum-certified album TRENCH. Featuring the multi-Platinum and Platinum singles “Chlorine,” “My Blood” and the GRAMMY® Award-nominated “Jumpsuit,” the album graced spots on “Best of” year-end lists by Billboard, KERRANG!, Alternative Press, and Rock Sound—who placed it at #1.

The duo’s 2021 RIAA Gold certified epic Scaled And Icy debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top “Rock Albums” and “Alternative Albums” charts while landing at No. 3 on the “Billboard 200,” marking the biggest opening week for a rock album in 2021. The record is highlighted by the #1 Alternative Radio hits “The Outside,” “Saturday,” and “Shy Away,” the latter of which ascended to #1 at the format in just three weeks, placing the duo in an elite group of acts with multiple songs to rise to #1 at the format in three weeks or less including: U2, R.E.M., The Cure, Linkin Park, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Foo Fighters.
