Emotional Roadshow World Tour, stylized as EMØTIONAL RØADSHØW WØRLD TØUR,[1] is a headlining concert tour by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots in support of their album, Blurryface. The tour began on May 31, 2016, in Cincinnati at the U.S. Bank Arena, and is scheduled to conclude on April 8, 2017, in Perth at the Perth Arena.
Background and development
On October 26, 2015, the tour was first announced with dates starting in Cincinnati going through New York City.[2] On May 9, 2016, more tour dates were announced that includes Europe, more North America, and Oceania dates.[3]
Concert synopsis
The show begins with an introduction of "Fairly Local" before both Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph take the stage in ski masks and tearing into "Heavydirtysoul," The massive LED screen showing hi-def animations behind them was the first hint that this would be a bigger spectacle than their fans have seen before. Joseph pulled off a magic show-esque disappearance just a few songs in, popping up in the middle of the arena, then quickly ran back to the stage and changed into white shades and one of his signature long shirts with a floral print. Singing his heart out on the fan favorite "Migraine". The collective voice grew to a din on the ukulele rocker "We Don't Believe What's On TV", which segued into the kitchen sink "The Judge". A performance of "Lane Boy" was accompanied by the word "success" flashing on the screen behind the pair, who quickly bolted the main stage after the song to change into skeleton jumpsuits and run to a satellite stage in the middle of the packed general admission floor. The floor of the secondary stage was a Saturday Night Fever-worthy riot of shifting disco lights and trippy patterns. The swirling, pulsing light show accompanied a medley of rarely performed older tracks, including "Johnny Boy" and "Addict with a Pen," as well as quick snippets of "Fall Away," "The Pantaloon," "Forest" and "Kitchen Sink." Joseph sat cross-legged on the floor staring down at his feet as he sang lines from "March to the Sea" about a voice inside his head urging him to "follow me instead." Soon enough the pair were back on the main stage playing on a tiny drum kit and keyboard platform at the edge of audience, for "Doubt" and "Holding On To You," before Joseph changed once again into his signature long white t-shirt and red wool cap and invited out openers Mutemath and Chef'Special for a raucous series of covers. The now-nine piece band hit "Twist and Shout", then a quick bit of Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" and a hyped snippet of House of Pain's "Jump Around". After performing the covers, the duo performed their hits, "Ride" and "Stressed Out" during which the arena lit up with the glow of smart phones and the lullaby-like sound of the audience crooning the song's chorus. Pulling out another arena-worthy toy, Joseph crawled into a red blow-up hamster ball for "Guns for Hands." The final, cathartic encore "Trees" built from a gentle piano meditation to a ground-quaking riot that ended with a shower of confetti and the pair bashing drums while riding atop the crowd.[4]
