Twenty One Pilots
GRAMMY-Award winning band Twenty One Pilots have shifted music and culture as an incomparable creative force and with an ever-evolving vision. The Columbus, OH duo - Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun - have tallied over 33 billion global streams and counting, sold north of three million tickets worldwide, notched dozens of multi-Platinum certifications, and even claimed a spot in the Guinness® Book of World Records.
In historic fashion, their quadruple-Platinum breakout LP, Blurryface, took flight as “the first album to notch a RIAA Gold or Platinum certification for every one of its songs, while Vessel followed suit and achieved the same distinction. They elevated to rarified air as “one of only 18 artists to earn multiple RIAA Diamond certifications,” going Diamond with “Stressed Out” and “Heathens.” 2018’s Platinum-certified Trench extended the ambitious concept laid out in Blurryface and delivered the multi-Platinum and Platinum singles: “Chlorine,” “My Blood” and the GRAMMY® Award-nominated “Jumpsuit.” They followed Trench with their Gold-certified LP Scaled And Icy, achieving “the biggest opening week for a rock album in 2021” by capturing #1 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts and crashing the Top 3 of the Billboard 200. Beyond rapturous headline shows at arenas and festivals worldwide, Twenty One Pilots have notably architected an immersive world without comparison, originating a multi-album conceptual arc across Blurryface, Trench, and Scaled And Icy. In 2024, the band released their seventh full-length offering, Clancy, which shattered records as the biggest rock debut AND biggest rock album overall of 2024. Led by the single “Overcompensate,” the LP signaled the dawn of another era for Twenty One Pilots and alternative rock music at large.
On September 12 this year, Twenty One Pilots unveiled their eighth studio album, Breach, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 200k album equivalents and earned the biggest rock debut of the decade and the biggest week in vinyl sales for a rock record since tracking began in 1991. This was the band’s first #1 since 2015’s LP, Blurryface. The duo then concluded THE CLANCY TOUR: BREACH 2025, which saw them hit stadiums and amphitheatres across North America. The band also recently paid tribute to The White Stripes with a cover of “Seven Nation Army“ at the 2000s icons’ induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which was lauded as a highlight of the night.
