Indie rockers Twenty One Pilots continue to bring the ruckus with their hard-hitting, rap-infused jams. Whether lead singer Tyler Joseph is spitting heavy flows on "Holding On To You" or Josh Dun is hammering out a drum solo on their radio hit "House of Gold", the duo knows how to put on an animated, passionate live performance every time. With a dynamic sound that blends elements of hip hop, hard rock, and pop, Twenty One Pilots always give fans something to cheer about at their packed live shows.

In celebration of the upcoming tour, Twenty One Pilots have also surprise released a digital deluxe version of their acclaimed new album, Scaled And Icy. Available today on all streaming platforms, Scaled And Icy (Livestream Version) includes never before released performances of fan favorite tracks from the group's pioneering global streaming event, "Twenty One Pilots - Livestream Experience" [tracklisting / album art below]. Originally broadcast this past May, the event ushered in a new standard in the livestreaming space with Billboard declaring, "After seven months of meticulous planning and two weeks of marathon rehearsals, Twenty One Pilots pulled off a home-brewed Las Vegas-worthy spectacle."
Furthermore, today also marks the release of the widely anticipated Scaled And Icy vinyl, including limited edition variants. Available HERE, the first pressing features several exclusive color variants including: Light Blue (Twenty One Pilots Official Store), White (Target), Orange (Amazon Music), Clear (Local Record Store), Curacao (Walmart), and Silver (EMP).
Scaled And Icy debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top "Rock Albums" and "Alternative Albums" charts while landing at No. 3 on the "Billboard 200," marking the biggest opening week for a rock album in 2021. The new record is highlighted by the #1 Alternative Radio hits "Saturday," and "Shy Away," the latter of which ascended to #1 at the format in just three weeks, placing the duo in an elite group of acts with multiple songs to rise to #1 at the format in three weeks or less including: U2, R.E.M., The Cure, Linkin Park, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Foo Fighters.
Written and largely produced by Tyler Joseph in isolation over the course of the past year at his home studio, with Dun engineering the album's drums from across the country, Scaled And Icy is the product of long-distance virtual sessions and finds the duo processing their upended routines along with the prevailing emotions of 2020 - anxiety, loneliness, boredom, and doubt. The duo had to forgo their normal studio sessions but reached a new of level of introspection in the process, adopting a more imaginative and bold approach to their songwriting. The result is a collection of songs that push forward through setbacks and focus on the possibilities worth remembering. Scaled And Icy is Twenty One Pilots' first studio album in three years and follows their RIAA Platinum certified LP, Trench.

Twenty One Pilots' latest album, BLURRYFACE, 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. Twenty One Pilots' candid expression and genuine identity has cemented the duo as the biggest group to break out in the past year and propelled them around the globe on a seemingly infinite world tour. An amazing journey anchored by Twenty One Pilots' RIAA Platinum certified album BLURRYFACE which has generated a series of smash singles including; the RIAA Gold certified "Tear In My Heart," the Modern Rock radio chart-topper "Ride" and the RIAA Multi-Platinum certified crossover hit, "Stressed Out," which reached the peak position at Top 40, Hot AC and Modern Rock radio outlets nationwide while earning Platinum certifications in Australia, Canada, Finland, Italy and the Netherlands. Widely considered among the most electrifying live acts in modern music, Twenty One Pilots have captivated audiences worldwide on sold-out arena runs and at international festivals with their transcendent stage show.
