GRAMMY-winning duo Twenty One Pilots are making waves once again with the release of their latest single, "Drum Show," offering fans a compelling new glimpse into their highly anticipated seventh studio album, 'Breach.' Set to drop on September 12, 2025, via Fueled By Ramen, 'Breach' promises to expand the intricate, fan-favorite lore that has captivated "The Clique" since their breakthrough 'Blurryface' era.

"Drum Show": A Rhythmic Revolution with Josh Dun at the Mic

"Drum Show" stands out as a pivotal track, not only for its dynamic sound but also for a significant first in the band's history: drummer Josh Dun takes on lead vocal duties, singing the repeating lines, "I've been this way / I want to change". This marks a fresh evolution for the Ohio duo, showcasing Dun's musical versatility alongside frontman Tyler Joseph's signature artistry. The track, which premiered as BBC Radio 1's "hottest record," is accompanied by an equally powerful official video, directed by longtime collaborator Mark Eshleman and shot in the band's hometown of Columbus, Ohio.

Following the success of their lead single "The Contract"—which debuted as the biggest song of their career and currently holds the #1 spot on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart, earning a 2025 MTV VMA nomination—"Drum Show" solidifies the band's trajectory toward another monumental release.

'Breach': A Continuation of the Twenty One Pilots Saga

'Breach' serves as the compelling second part to their 2024 album 'Clancy,' further immersing listeners in the band's rich narrative universe. Fans, known for their dedication to uncovering cryptic messages, will undoubtedly find new layers of meaning within the album's lyrics and visuals. The album is not just a collection of songs; it's an experience designed to deepen the connection to the band's ongoing story, promising to be a significant moment for Twenty One Pilots lore.

The Clancy Tour: Breach and Limited Global Engagements

In support of 'Breach,' Twenty One Pilots have announced "The Clancy Tour: Breach," a massive North American stadium and amphitheater run scheduled for September and October 2025. However, frontman Tyler Joseph has shared a candid statement regarding future touring plans, indicating that these might be the only extensive tour dates for the 'Breach' album cycle, aside from potential festival appearances next year. "It will be the first time in our career we won't know when we will tour again," Joseph stated, expressing regret to international fans about the lack of a proper world tour.

For dedicated collectors, 'Breach' will be available in three exclusive box sets: the Dark Clancy Edition, Nova Bishop Edition, and Torchbearer Edition, each featuring unique packaging and bonus items. Global listening parties at independent record stores are also planned, offering an early opportunity for fans worldwide to experience 'Breach'.

As Twenty One Pilots continue to evolve their sound and narrative, "Drum Show" and the upcoming 'Breach' album underscore their position as innovators in the alternative music landscape, constantly pushing boundaries and engaging their global fanbase with profound musical and storytelling experiences.
