Twenty One Pilots Announce New Album and North American Tour

LOS ANGELES, CA — Twenty One Pilots has unveiled their new single, “The Contract,” showcasing an eclectic mix of pop, rap, emo, and drumline. The song will appear on their upcoming album, “Breach,” scheduled for release in September.

The music video features frontman Tyler Joseph experimenting with various vocal styles, while drummer Josh Dun maintains the rhythm amid a backdrop of red-eyed figures. The video concludes with a mysterious handoff of a uniform, which echoes the cover art for “Breach.” This album continues the narrative introduced in last year’s project, “Clancy,” and is expected to wrap up a storytelling journey that began with “Blurryface” a decade ago.

To support the album’s release, the band will launch a North American tour titled the Clancy Tour: Breach, kicking off in September. The previous tour, which concluded six months ago, was labeled the Clancy World Tour.

Tickets for the upcoming tour will go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. local time on June 20, with presales starting on June 15. Fans can find more details on the official website.

The announcement follows an uplifting incident where a fan returned a stolen drum after a concert in Manchester, England. During a performance of “Trees,” Joseph and Dun interacted with the audience as confetti rained down, but a fan took one of Dun’s drums instead. Witnesses rallied to recover the drum, which will now be used on the forthcoming tour.

The tour dates include stops in cities like Cincinnati, Toronto, and Los Angeles, running from September 18 to October 25.
