Twenty One Pilots to bring the chills to North America in 2022

Things are about to get a lot more “icy” in camp Twenty One Pilots.

On Friday (Nov. 19), the Ohio-founded duo announced plans to embark on a massive 23-stop tour during the late summer months of 2022. The trek will kick off on Aug. 18 at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, and conclude on Sept. 24 at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.

The act will also visit major markets including New York, Philadelphia, Nashville, Dallas, San Francisco, and of course Cleveland.

For those who want to get a head start on getting tickets for themselves or someone else (nothing screams “best holiday gift ever” than tickets to a major concert), registration for first access is currently available through Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan website. Registration closes on Sunday, Nov. 21, at midnight EST.

All remaining tour tickets will hit the market next Wednesday, Nov. 24, at 10 a.m. local time. The complete list of upcoming tour dates can be found below.

In addition to announcing a major North American tour, the duo has also released a surprise digital deluxe version of their recently released album, Scaly and Icy. Titled Scaled and Icy (Livestream Version), the deluxe album includes tracks from the original album as well as never-before-released versions of some fan-favorite tunes from the group’s global streaming event from earlier this year. The newly released re-issue is available on all streaming platforms.

Twenty One Pilots launch a ‘never-ending’ music video for ‘Level of Concern’

Watch Twenty One Pilots throw a light show from self-isolation in ‘Level of Concern’

Being stuck inside the house may be bad, but Twenty One Pilots are taking advantage and giving fans something new to jam out to.

On Thursday (April 9), the Ohio twosome unleashed a brand new song titled “Level of Concern.” Instead of being dark and brooding, the song’s beat makes you want to get up and dance.

To coincide with the new song’s release, the duo unleashed its official music video.

The almost-four-minute clip begins with frontman Tyler Joseph setting up a camera in what appears to be his recording studio. The video progresses with the singer recording the lyrics and guitar portion of the track while also showing off some dance moves.

Once he’s done, we watch him put a flash drive in an envelope and send it off. Drummer Josh Dunn receives the flash drive and, like Joseph, sets up a camera to record his portion of the song. This back-and-forth of recording their share of the song and mailing it out goes on for the rest of the clip.

In between this ongoing exchange, we see Joseph and his wife with their baby girl and Dunn with his fiancee to throw a massive party in their respective homes.

The twosome once again joined forces with longtime music video collaborators Reel Bear Media. Watch the music video for “Level of Concern” above.

“Level of Concern” is Twenty One Pilots’ first new song since the release of their critically acclaimed fifth studio album, Trench.

Because a lot of musicians are doing their part to help out with the pandemic, Twenty One Pilots are releasing an exclusive Crew Nation hoodie. A portion of proceeds from “Level of Concern” and the hoodie will go to Crew Nation – Global Relief Fund for Live Music Crews. You can find out more about Crew Nation here.

Twenty One Pilots introduce fans to Ned in ‘Chlorine’

After spending part of the week teasing fans with short footage snippets from their brand new music video, Twenty One Pilots have finally unleashed the full thing. On Wednesday (Jan. 23), the Ohio-founded act premiered the much-anticipated clip for their latest single, “Chlorine.”

The five-and-a-half-minute music video begins with the guys (frontman Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun) in a backyard filling up a dirty pool with water for no real reason at all. As they stand there watching water gather at the bottom of the vacant space, Joseph notices some noise coming from behind a beat-up truck door that’s just lying in the grass.

From behind the item comes a little, green alien-looking thing who goes by the name of Ned. Throughout the clip, Joseph and Dun (mostly Dun) work relentlessly to fill up the pool to Ned’s liking so that he will come out of his hiding space. They go so far as to bring truckloads of chlorine in hopes their little skittish friend will come out of his spot.

After spending all day trying to get Ned out, nighttime falls and the pool is once again vacant with Joseph sitting in it. Ned finally makes his way to Joseph who just sits and looks at him before sharing a cup of what we can only hope is coffee and not chlorine (after all the lyrics are “sipping on straight chlorine.”)

Watch the music video for “Chlorine” above.

“Chlorine” is featured on Twenty One Pilots’ recently released record, Trench. Trench was released in October of 2018, producing several hit singles including “Jumpsuit,” “Nico and the Niners,” “Levitate,” and “My Blood.” The album, the band’s fourth studio effort, was met with mostly positive reviews and commercial success, reaching number one in six countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Spain, and the Netherlands.

Twenty One Pilots’ “Bandito” world tour will resume later this month with a two-month trek across Europe. Following that outing, the duo will return to Mexico, Canada, and the United States for the second North American leg of the lengthy jaunt. The full list of upcoming tour dates can be found here.

Earlier this month, the duo was confirmed as one of the headliners for this year’s Boston Calling. Twenty One Pilots join Tame Impala, Travis Scott, Hozier, Janelle Monáe, and more on the festival’s ten-year anniversary lineup. The full list of acts can be found here.

Twenty One Pilots, Tame Impala, Travis Scott lead Boston Calling 2019 lineup

Muse, The Killers, Twenty One Pilots to headline iHeartRadio’s ALTer Ego concert

Muse, Twenty One Pilots, and the Killers are just some of the rock bands that will make their way to California in early 2019 for iHeartRadio’s second annual ALTer Ego concert. On Monday (Oct. 1), the media giant confirmed the lineup for their alternative music-centric show. Joining Twenty One Pilots, Muse and the Killers on the newly announced roster will be Weezer, Rise Against, Bishop Briggs, and the Revivalists.

According to a press release, the event will broadcast live across over 70 alternative and rock iHeartRadio stations, giving listeners who couldn’t make it the show the opportunity to hear some of rock’s biggest artists live.

“This has become alternative music’s biggest night,” said John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises for iHeartMedia. “Millions of fans will be listening and watching this incredible lineup performing on stage at the Forum.”

“This will be one of the strongest alternative performance lineups to ever appear on one stage,” mirrors Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer for iHeartMedia.

“It’s such a strong lineup that it’s impossible to refer to any one of these incredible artists as the headliner – in fact, several of the performers have told us that it’s a show they would want to go to even if they weren’t already on the bill.”

Those who would like to attend the event will be given a special 24-hour, pre-sale offer courtesy of Los Angeles alternative radio station, ALT 98.7. ALT 98.7’s pre-sale will begin this Thursday, Oct. 4, at 10 a.m. PST and conclude this Friday, Oct. 5, at 10 a.m. PST. General ticket sales will then begin on Friday at 10 a.m.

iHeartRadio’s ALTer Ego concert will take place on Jan. 19, 2019 at the Forum in Los Angeles.

ALTer Ego joins a lengthy list of iHeartRadio concert series including the iHeartRadio Music Festival, the iHeartRadio Music Awards, iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball concert tour, the newly launched iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina, the iHeartCountry Festival by AT&T, and the iHeartRadio Wango Tango by AT&T.

Watch: Twenty One Pilots take fans behind the scenes for ‘Jumpsuit’

It’s been a few months since Twenty One Pilots surprised the Clique by releasing their first post-hiatus song and its accompanying music video, On Thursday (Sept. 6), the duo decided to treat fans to a behind-the-scenes look at what it took to create the music video for Trench‘s lead single, “Jumpsuit.”

The eight-minute clip begins with the music video’s director, Andrew Donoho (“Heathens” “Heavydirtysoul”), explaining how a two-week trip to Iceland and seeing the canyons (where the video was filmed) gave him the desire to film something at that location.

“Two years ago, I did a nice little 15-day trip around Iceland and I was always shocked at the craziness and the expanse of the canyons,” Donoho explains in the video.

“You’ll see it on camera, but in person it’s even wilder because you feel like you’re totally surrounded and enveloped. So I went hiking with some friends and I’ve wanted to film here since.”

As it turns out, after listening to Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun describe the world of Trench, the director knew that it would be the perfect fit to film the album’s music videos at the Icelandic canyons.

“When I kinda heard about the world Tyler and the team had created, I was super pumped because it described to the tee exactly what I had seen here, so it all worked out.”

The clip doesn’t just follow Donoho, it also follows Joseph, Dun, and the rest of the crew who participated in the creation of the “Jumpsuit” music video. Throughout the video, the viewer also watches as Dun gives a tour of different areas in the canyon, but it’s hard to know whether he’s being sarcastic or giving legitimate information. Watch the full clip above and make up your own mind.

“Jumpsuit” is the lead single from Twenty One Pilots’ forthcoming album. Trench is due out Oct. 5 through Fueled By Ramen. Pre-orders for the new album are currently available here. Joining “Jumpsuit” on the upcoming record will be previously released tracks “Nico and the Niners,” “Levitate,” and “My Blood.”
