Alternative, genre-defying music duo Twenty One Pilots played the first of two nights at Budweiser Stage in Toronto on Saturday (September 20th). This show marks the second night of The Clancy Tour: Breach where the band is performing songs of their latest album, Breach. This album and tour marks the end of a decade-long story about mental health that the band has been telling through their albums and music videos.
The show opens with a bang as Josh begins drumming and Tyler makes a running jump onto the stage as Overcompensate begins. This is followed by two new songs: The Contract and RAWFEAR.
The group perform a mix of new songs from Breach, along with some of their most popular hits like Stressed Out and older fan-favourites including House of Gold and HeavyDirtySoul.
This was the first night of ‘Bandito Camp’ where the lawn section of the venue was set up with a B-stage and a couple of tents around where fans could join the Banditos, sign a Toronto flag (that Josh later carries back to the stage and displays it on his drums) and add yellow tape to their outfits. Half-way through the set, Tyler and Josh make their way to the B-stage by walking through the crowd, high-fiving fans on the way. They perform Routines In The Night, Message Man, Pet Cheetah, Polarize, and Chlorine on the B-stage.
Twenty One Pilots never disappoint – their show is not only an incredible high-energy performance, but it is filled with fan interaction. You can tell there is genuine connection and care between the band and everyone in the venue.
