When twenty one pilots started their tour in late 2018, little did the pop-rock duo know that they would be adding more dates and playing more shows well into the end of 2019. But with the jaw-dropping performances and elaborate stage design that fans are treated to every night on the Bandito tour, it is little surprise that fans are itching for more.
The group kicked off their fall leg of the tour in early October with shows to come running through November across North America. Tyler Joseph and Josh Dunn launched the tour in celebration of their most recent album Trench and have been playing hits from the acclaimed album such as "Jumpsuit" and "The Hype" as well as popular faves like "Heathens." Whether you are part of the Clique or have vibed with their music only recently, the duo are sure to put on a show with songs for everyone. Check out a recent setlist below!
The show has been opening consistently with the high-energy song "Jumpsuit" off of Trench which the boys execute in an almost performance-art way, topped with their signature ski masks and pyro-heavy set design. As the show progresses, the enigma wrapped under the masks and balaclavas are unearthed as Dunn and Joseph take the stage with their fans to deep cuts such as "Heavydirtysoul" and "Fall Away." Check out a snippet of their opening performances below!
The show is separated into three parts; the A-stage, B-stage and encore performances, keeping fans on their toes, or rather in the air, as the boys change platforms whilst keeping the momentum going. As the night progresses, the boys treat their fans to all stages of the twenty one pilots experience, from Dunn's signature high-energy drumming to Joseph's spit-fire delivery, evoking feelings of nostalgia as the audience sings "Stressed Out" with utmost clarity.
"Twenty One Pilots and their fans know each other at this point — like, really, really know each other — and so all parties involved can see the tenderness beneath all that post-apocalyptic posturing."
The show closes with "Car Radio" off of their album Regional at Best, culminating a night of energetic performances and heartfelt nostalgia, as the edgy duo from Colombus turned alt-rock gods deliver their encore of "Chlorine" from their newest album and "Trees" from 2011's Regional at Best, showing the trajectory of Joseph and Dunn's career whilst hearkening back to their roots.
