Twenty One Pilots

The band released their debut album "Twenty One Pilots" in 2009, followed by "Regional at Best" in 2011. The duo from Columbus/Ohio achieved their first chart position in 2013 after switching to the major label "Fueled by Ramen" with the longplayer "Vessel". However, Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun made their real breakthrough in 2015 with "Blurryface". The album reached number 1 in the US Billboard charts, was celebrated by many critics and received numerous awards. The music magazine "Alternative Press" honoured Blurryface with a Music Award for Album of the Year, and at the Billboard Music Awards 2016 it won the prize for Best Rock Album. The single release "Stressed Out" also earned the Twenty One Pilots a Grammy in 2017.

After their rather sombre album "Trench" (2018), the basic tone of "Scaled and Icy" (2021), which was recorded during the pandemic, sounded more optimistic again. However, when Joseph and Dun released the first pre-release single from their latest album "Clancy", "Overcompensate", in March 2024, the first line of the lyrics, "Welcome back to Trench", already gave an idea of where the journey would take them again - a journey that would also take them to the Olympic Hall on their world tour.
