Twenty One Pilots perform in support of their new album Blurryface
Date/Time: Apr 11 2016, 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm
Vancouver, Queen Elizabeth Theatre
Blurryface, Twenty One Pilots’ latest album, opens a new chapter in the Columbus, Ohio-based band’s story. A chapter which finds the duo of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun disinterested in expectation and certainty, instead absorbing themselves in the undefined and breaking new ground as they fearlessly reimagine the possibilities of their music. Blurryface reflects these sentiments, each track lending itself to the idea of candid expression and genuine identity, ultimately revealing a collection of dynamic and diverse songs; linear in arrangement and poignantly honest.
The duo, which initially formed in 2009 and released two albums on their own, began writing the songs while touring extensively on their Fueled By Ramen debut Vessel, which was released in January of 2013. The album landed in the Billboard Top 200 and at No. 15 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart, and has sold over 300,000 copies, as well as 1,000,000 singles. To support the album, which was No. 1 on Alternative Press’ 10 Essential Albums of 2013, Twenty One Pilots embarked on a series of headlining tours that took them to over 325 shows worldwide. As they traveled, stopping to perform at festivals like Bonnaroo, Hangout Fest, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Download and Summersonic, and appearing at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards and on Conan and Late Night With Seth Meyers, Josh and Tyler began conceiving ideas for a new album.
