GRAMMY® Award-winning duo Twenty One Pilots have sent their dedicated fanbase into a frenzy with the announcement of their seventh full-length album, 'Breach,' set to drop in September 2025 via Fueled By Ramen. Adding to the excitement, the band has also confirmed that the first single from the album, titled 'The Contract,' will be released on June 12th.
In a move that has become characteristic of the innovative pair, Twenty One Pilots subtly teased the album and single through a series of cryptic clues disseminated during their recent 'Clancy World Tour' and across various social media platforms. This playful approach allowed their fervent global following to actively piece together the impending news, building anticipation to a fever pitch. Alongside the official announcement, an early pre-order for the 'Breach' Vinyl & CD [First Pressing Edition] has been launched, available until June 12th.
The announcement of 'Breach' arrives as the band concludes a triumphant period, having just wrapped up 'The Clancy World Tour' earlier this month. This monumental tour saw Twenty One Pilots perform to over 1.1 million fans worldwide, culminating in two electrifying, sold-out shows at London's O2. Critics were effusive in their praise, with Dork proclaiming, "‘...their motto of, ‘We are Twenty One Pilots, and so are you’ has never felt more brilliantly accurate," while Kerrang! lauded their live show for seamlessly tying together "multiple eras, lore and imagery under the same two-hour umbrella."
This new chapter follows their successful 2024 album, 'Clancy,' which moved an impressive 143,000 units in its first week in the US alone and has since garnered over 1 billion global streams. The band recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of their seminal 2015 album, 'Blurryface,' a record-breaking release that holds a Guinness® World Record for being the first album to achieve a RIAA Gold or Platinum certification for every single track in the US. 'Blurryface' has amassed over 15 billion streams and was crowned the #1 rock album of the 2010s, cementing Twenty One Pilots' status as one of the most influential modern acts in their genre.
Further demonstrating their enduring impact, the 'Blurryface' track 'Doubt' recently went viral online, with a demo version rapidly accumulating over 1.8 billion views. In response to overwhelming fan demand, the band incorporated the track into their 'Clancy World Tour' setlist and surprise-released the demo last month, which has already surpassed 20 million global streams.
As anticipation builds for 'Breach' and 'The Contract,' fans can expect more exciting news from Twenty One Pilots soon.
