Twenty One Pilots, the Grammy-winning duo from Columbus, Ohio, have reshaped modern music and culture with their distinctive sound and constantly evolving creative vision.

Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun have accumulated more than 33 billion global streams, sold over three million tickets worldwide, earned dozens of multi-Platinum certifications, and even secured a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Their breakthrough album, the quadruple-Platinum Blurryface, made history as the first album to receive an RIAA Gold or Platinum certification for every track. Vessel achieved the same distinction shortly after.

The pair joined an elite group as one of only 18 artists to earn multiple RIAA Diamond certifications, with “Stressed Out” and “Heathens” both reaching Diamond status.

Their 2018 Platinum-certified album Trench expanded on the ambitious concept introduced in Blurryface and produced the multi-Platinum and Platinum singles “Chlorine,” “My Blood,” and the GRAMMY-nominated “Jumpsuit.”

Following Trench, they released the Gold-certified Scaled and Icy, which achieved the biggest opening week for a rock album in 2021, reaching number one on the Billboard Top Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts and breaking into the Top 3 of the Billboard 200.

Beyond their headline shows at arenas and festivals around the world, Twenty One Pilots have built an immersive, unmatched artistic universe, developing a multi-album conceptual storyline across Blurryface, Trench, Scaled and Icy, and Clancy.

In 2024, the band released their seventh full-length album, Clancy, which set records as the biggest rock debut and the biggest rock album overall of the year.

Led by the single “Overcompensate,” Clancy marked the start of a new era for Twenty One Pilots and for alternative rock more broadly. The band ended the year with “The Line,” an original track for Netflix’s Arcane Season 2 that has seen rapid growth on streaming platforms.

Just weeks after finishing their massive Clancy World Tour, Twenty One Pilots announced their latest album, Breach, the long-awaited conclusion to the story that began a decade ago with Blurryface.

The first single from the record, “The Contract,” became the biggest song debut of the band’s career and reached number one on the Alternative Airplay chart, their 12th time achieving this feat.

Following the album’s release on 12 September 2025, the band launched The Clancy Tour: Breach, playing stadiums and amphitheatres across North America and closing with two nights at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
