After a No. 1 Billboard 200 debut last month for their latest album Blurryface , the two members of Twenty One Pilots are feeling even more confident about their summer concert schedule, which includes festival appearances and shows in Australia, New Zealand and Japan before a North American tour of the biggest venues the duo has ever headlined.

“It’s a funny thing,” singer and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Joseph tells Billboard. “I’ll be in my home town of Columbus (Ohio) at a restaurant or something, and the waiter maybe asks, ‘What do you do?’ and I say, ‘Oh, I’m in a band…Twenty One Pilots,’ and he’ll say, ‘Cool, I’ll check it out. I never heard of them.’ And then I say, ‘In September we’re playing the Schottenstein Center,’ and it’s like, ‘What?!’ ‘Yeah, there’ll be, like, 14,000 people there.

Pop Duo Twenty One Pilots Makes a Hot Mess (in a Good Way) on ‘Blurryface’: Album Review

Trending on Billboard

“There’s so many people who have never heard of us, but I think what we’ve learned is you can’t underestimate the power of a core fan base and people who believe what you’re doing. I think they’re the ultimate marketers. They’re the ones promoting us. It doesn’t matter what we post about ourselves on social networks or how many times we play live TV, even. It’s all about those people, those fans who are telling other people about us. I think that’s what we’re seeing more than anything.”

And playing live is when they can really feel the impact their music has. “What we see are more and more people who are kind of physically resonating with the songs,”  drummer Josh Dun adds. “ We missed that while we were off making the album, so we were really excited to start playing live again, and it’s picking up where we left off with having a person come to a show and leave telling their brother or sisters about it and stuff like that. It’s this organic way to share music.”

Twenty One Pilots have spots on the Bunbury Music Festival in Cincinnati and the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee before heading Down Under on July 4. Fests in Japan, South Korea, Canada and Ireland are also on the bill before the amphitheater/arena trek kicks off Sept. 8 in Washington, D.C. 

Twenty One Pilots Earn First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart

Joseph says he and drummer Josh Dun have “never been more excited about playing new music than when we start playing some of these new songs,” and with good reason. The duo began working on the material during the latter part of the touring cycle to promote 2013’s Vessel , converting the back lounge of the tour bus into a studio. “We wrote this record almost completely on the road,” Joseph says. “Every night we were able to start playing two different people — that person who got up on stage every night and then that person who went back in that lounge and started writing songs. So we were able to ask ourselves every night, ‘What do we wish our set had?’ We look at songwriting very much through the filter of live music, so we wrote 1) whatever we love and 2) what we felt our live set needed. Looking back on this new record as a whole, you can tell we were really influenced in that way.”

That said, Blurryface  is unquestionably a studio album. After working with just one producer (Greg Wells) on “Vessel,” Joseph and Dun went for a team approach on the new album, with collaborators such as Ricky “Wallpaper.” Reed, Mike Elizondo, Mike Crossey and Tim Anderson helming different tracks. 

Song of the Summer: Taylor Swift, Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea, Maroon 5 and Other Early Contenders

“The songs we wrote were so different from each other,” Joseph says, “so Josh and I did our research on these producers and what their strengths are, what they bring to the table. And we even dated a few more. Once we had the list of songs we wanted on the record we could tell which songs would work best with which producer. All these guys added something to the record, and we were very intentional about what songs they were going to produce. It really kind of kept everyone on their toes, but it was a perfect marriage with all these guys, so I’m happy we went about it the way we did and we’re really happy about how it turned out.”

Twenty One Pilots’ 2015 Blurryface Tour

• By: PLSN Staff
• Designer Insights
• December 12, 2015

Twenty One Pilots’ Tyler Joseph founded the band in 2009 near Columbus, Ohio with two college friends. The band’s name is linked to a 1947 Arthur Miller play, All My Sons . That play is based on a real-life scandal. In the 1940s, aviation company Curtiss-Wright, which traces its lineage to the Wright Brothers, was caught selling defective parts to the U.S. military. In the play, a character who at first thinks of his actions as being for the good of the company and his family takes his life after recognizing that his misdeeds caused the deaths of 21 pilots.

LD/production designer Daniel Slezinger first crossed paths with the trio-turned-duo act in 2012 when they performed at a Nashville live music venue 12 th and Porter, which Slezinger ran with partner Justin Roddick. Slezinger picks up the story of how that encounter eventually led to the key role he played on the production team backing Twenty One Pilots’ 2015 Blurryface shows.

“It’s one of those ‘only in Nashville’ situations. In 2012, I owned a fairly well know music venue called 12th & Porter with a long time friend, Justin Roddick. Justin was booking the venue those days, and I handled production. At the time, we had a lighting rig that consisted of several Clay Paky fixtures, a handful of Robe lights and some old school Dataflash strobes. The production value helped us book awesome bands like Twenty One Pilots. We hit it off with the band and management at the first show. After our third show with the band, Justin and I met with band members Tyler and Josh and expressed our desire to partner with the band to help take the live show production to the next level. The band invited us to watch their show at Bonnaroo in 2013. The next day, we became partners.”

Twenty One Pilots’ Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun always put their stamp on their design. Their longtime friend and creative director Mark Eshleman worked with Slezinger to program the duo’s tour promoting their breakout album, Quiet Is Violent , in 2014.

The band has used video since day one to achieve the creative vision, but stepped it up this year

Tyler Shapard, aka ‘Shap’, started out as the lighting tech. It didn’t take long for him to become the LD and co-lighting designer with Slezinger on the Blurryface tour.

“I originally hired Shap as Mark’s lighting tech on the road. It didn’t take long for us to notice Shap’s passion and role flexibility on the road. After a year, the band promoted Shapard to LD. At that point, Mark’s focus shifted entirely to creative direction. Shap had to adapt to several different environments on two world tours and, in the process, became an extremely proficient programmer. We teamed up on programming Blurryface, and the results were fantastic.”

Slezinger worked with Accurate Staging to create “mini stage” risers that act as a landing pad for Joseph. He uses the risers much like a writer uses punctuation.

“One of my favorite parts of the show is when the lights and video are almost non-existent. Josh and Tyler share a very small stage within the set and play a medley of music that dates back to Twenty One Pilot’s roots in small coffee shops and clubs.”

In the beginning they made it a point to stay away from spot fixtures.

“I introduced spot fixtures for the first time with the band on the Blurryface tour. We chose the Robe Pointes to play a leading role because they are reliable, fast with tight beams. The fixture allows for geometric shapes to be painted in the air and then quickly break out and play along with a soft beam.

“We have strobes everywhere. Sometimes, the goal is to see the outline of Tyler’s body as he’s jumping off his piano or swinging his LED microphone behind him as a backdrop. Sometimes it’s only half his face that is lit at a time, but alternating quickly between both sides, keeping some mystery there for what is right in front of you.”

Slezinger and Justin Roddick started Concert Investor in 2013 with a shared vision to invest in the early stages of a band’s live show. Twenty One Pilots was the company’s first “investment.”

Twenty One Pilots are on track for a bright future in the music industry. Slezinger’s guess is that they will be playing stadiums in a couple years.

Twenty One Pilots Surpass Four Years on Billboard 200 With ‘Blurryface’

If it seems like Twenty One Pilots have been dominating the airwaves for a long time, it's because they have. In fact, their 2015 album Blurryface just surpassed four straight years charting on the Billboard 200.

That's some serious staying power for the album that gave us such massive singles as "Tear in My Heart," "Stressed Out" and "Ride." But it should also be noted that every single track on the Blurryface album to be certified gold, which is a chart first.

The Blurryface album did hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart, and it has been certified four times platinum by the RIAA. In total, it has spent 208 weeks on the Billboard 200.

The disc helped catapult the band to superstardom, with the duo then landing the hit Suicide Squad soundtrack song "Heathens," and following up that with last year's Trench album, which is already gold certified and has yielded such singles as "Jumpsuit," "My Blood" and "Chlorine."

Twenty One Pilots are currently promoting the Trench album on tour, but you'll also catch your fair share of Blurryface favorites. See dates from "The Bandito" tour right here .
