In Photos: Twenty One Pilots Concert
By William H. WuTwenty One Pilots is a Grammy award-winning American musical duo originally from Columbus, Ohio. The group cycled through different lineups in the past before finally settling on current vocalist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun. The group’s rise to fame is mainly attributed to their 2015 mainstream breakthrough album Blurryface, in which the single titled “Stressed Out” accumulated nearly 1.6 billion views on YouTube and sold over 2.4 million copies in the U.S. since 2016.
On October 27, the musical act performed in the TD Garden while promoting their fifth LP, Trench, on their “Bandito” tour.
The duo is known for wearing ski masks during public appearances. According to the group, the outfit decision is made to avoid being stuck in one particular genre.
The show begins with their new lead single “Jumpsuit.” Both group members open the act by walking out in silence, with flaming torches in hand.
“We’re trying to create something that’s a bit more faceless, that can represent a group of people or have people relate to it,” Tyler Joseph said in an interview with APTV.
The show ended with a heartfelt tribute to fans as golden confetti fell from above. The “Bandito” tour will continue in cities around United States before departing on its international leg with a December 7th show in in Australia.
