To open up the night, Twenty One Pilots brought a band called Dayglow. Their set was short and sweet, yet so full of energy and easy to connect with. The audience really loved them and was very hyped for more to come.
Twenty One Pilots have been in and out of charts for over 15 years, their hit songs breaking records and being featured in films and tv shows. Even with the duo taking a hiatus after releasing their album Blurryface, their loyal fan base The Clique, as they call themselves, remained supportive and passionate through all the different eras and evolution of their career. So when the Clancy Tour: Breach was announced, The Clique didn't waste a minute and sold out most of the dates.
If there’s one word to describe the night, it would be unity. The stadium was packed to the brim, and even before the show began, fans were already lighting up their flashlights, creating a sea of glowing lights that revealed just how massive the crowd was. The buzz of anxious and excited anticipation felt like a volcano, getting ready to burst.
The moment the lights went out, the fans erupted in loud cheers and applause, as the stage bled out in red hues. Josh made his way behind his drumset, his face covered by a mask with only two piercing red lights hauntingly watching the audience. He started out with an impressive drum solo, setting the energy levels high for the entire night. Then the pyro went out and Tyler made a striking appearance by jumping off the piano and launching right into "Overcompensate".
The duo controlled the crowd like the tide, seamlessly shifting the energy from explosive highs to mellow acoustic moments. But no matter the tempo, the fans sang along to every word. Everyone in the audience had bracelets with a flashing light that changed colors in sync. The dance of colorful patterns created such a magical atmosphere and made sure that every single fan is noticed and visible, even in the furthest sections at the top.
Throughout the night there were multiple moments where Pilots made their way into the crowd and walked right next to the fans, holding their hands and making personable connections. Tyler even gave a special shout out to everyone working the event and shook the hand of the security guard by the stage.
For songs like "Message Man," "Polarize," and "Chlorine," the duo took over Stage B, where a beat-up old car was set on fire, adding a gritty and cinematic backdrop to the performance.
On the way back to the main stage, Tyler picked out a young fan from the crowd to join him on stage. A teenage girl, Lola, sang the last chorus of the song "Ride" under Tyler’s encouraging gaze, as he made sure she felt comfortable and supported in the spotlight.
The whole set was over two hours long and felt like a cinematic journey everyone went on together. The sense of unity was overpowering, from chanting the lyrics in unison, the dancing lights on everyone's bracelets, or the collective wave that ran from the pit to the furthest corners of the stadium. The fans range from young preteens to middle age, yet despite the age difference everyone was having equal level of fun and was very respectful and protective of each other.
Pilots lyrics are often very vulnerable and open about the insecurities and struggles the duo has been going through, which make them really resonate with the fans. The openness and pure energy that the duo delivers is what makes them stand out and connect with the audiences years later after releasing their first album.
Josh and Tyler gave it their all, delivering powerhouse vocals, strong instrumentals, and an undeniable sense of connection that made every fan feel seen and appreciated. Tyler joked that he might not have the best memory, but said this was a night he’d remember forever.
As fireworks lit up the sky above the stadium, it was clear the feeling was mutual thousands of voices cheering in unison, all agreeing that this was truly a night to remember.
