Twenty One Pilots played at Hershey Park Stadium on Sept. 27. The show, was an epic performance of everything that makes the band special.
Before the show, the parking lot was full of people trading guitar picks, bracelets and blasting music. Others played corn hole to pass time before the concert.
The show started with Tyler Joseph, frontman of Twenty One Pilots, portraying his character, Clancy, during “Overcompensate.” Clancy is a masked figure with black hands and a stole with his name on it.
After seven unrelated songs, Clancy returned during the performance of “Message Man” on the B-stage. The B-stage was small, giving only enough room for the drum set and a prop car that was on fire for the duration of the show.
The band played songs that many fans were sad to see cut from the original “Clancy Tour”, such as “Lane Boy” and “Polarize.”
Fans also took this as an opportunity to dress up. The crowd was full of people dressed as characters from music videos, outfits from live performances or outfits that defined certain albums. Wristbands were also given out to light up the stadium in a variety of colors.
As the show went on, the energy never faltered. The crowd was singing, dancing and cheering for the band throughout the whole two-and-a-half hour show. This energy peaked during the last song, “Trees,” when the band went into the crowd to play the final drum beats while red fireworks shot off behind the main stage.
Twenty One Pilots also debuted their new song “Tally” live for the first time. “Tally” is a track off their newest album Breach. Fans showed overwhelming enthusiasm when the song began to play.
They also played the recently released demo version of their song “Doubt,” donning the same skeleton masks the duo wore during “Blurryface” ten years ago.
Twenty One Pilot’s next show is in Chula Vista, California, on Oct. 23. Anyone going can expect a night of pyrotechnics, great music and an experience that will leave them satisfied.
“Amazing show, genuinely, and I am so grateful to have been able to see it,” Concert goer Theo, who asked to be referred to only by first name, said.
