It has been revealed that Twenty One Pilots will break out of their pandemic hiatus in style this fall with a unique tour that will have them playing a series of residency-style stints in cities around the U.S. and England. The 2021-2022 outing will kick off on Sept. 21 with a four-night run in Denver with the band setting up at the 550-capacity Bluebird Theater, before moving on to the 1,600-capacity Ogden Theatre the next night, then the 3,950-capacity Mission Ballroom on Sept. 23 and wrapping up at the 20,000-capacity Ball Arena on Sept. 25.
“Wow. We’re playing shows again. I couldn’t visualize taking another break like we did before Trench, but then we were forced to,” drummer Josh Dun said in a statement. “Live shows coming back is something I think we’ve all really been waiting for, and we can’t wait to see you again soon.”
The duo, fronted by singer/guitarist/bassist/ukulelist Tyler Joseph, will be joined by a full band for the first time ever on the upcoming tour. After performing with the expanded lineup on their S&I livestream and at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards, in an interview with Billboard last month, Joseph explained why he and Dun decided to share the stage with other performers after more than a decade of going it alone together.
“The truth is Twenty One Pilots as a band will always be Josh and Tyler,” Joseph said. “It will always be that, [but] there are moments for me as a frontman when we add different players at different moments for me to really lead that moment. It frees me up to really grab the moment by the horns and really lead that group or that crowd.”
