Here’s what went down when Twenty One Pilots kicked off the ‘Clancy’ world tour

Twenty One Pilots kicked off their huge ‘Clancy’ world tour on Thursday night in Denver – read on for footage and the full setlist.

The tour was announced back in March and will take place in the US, Australia, the UK and Europe and is due to run from now until the end of October. After a winter break, it will pick back up in April for the European leg, which will conclude with two nights in London’s O2 on May 13 and 14 next year.

The show at the Ball Arena saw the duo give four songs their live debuts: ‘Vignette’, ‘Navigating’, ‘Lavish’ and ‘Paladin Strait’, all taken from their recently-released seventh studio album ‘Clancy’.

‘Clancy’ came out in May, and in a three-star review, NME wrote: “The record fares better when it shoots for genuine experimentation, like on the weird, spacey ‘Lavish’; otherwise, ‘Clancy’ is more often than not the sound of a band spinning their wheels, caught in a strange space where their colourful conceptual ideas are being painted from a beige musical palette.”

Ahead of the album’s release, the duo revealed that they were in the process of filming music videos for every song on their new album.

In other Twenty One Pilots news, Shania Twain spoke to NME last year and opened up about her experience working with Tyler Joseph, after he joined her for the track ‘The Hardest Stone’ – taken from her sixth album ‘Queen of Me’.

“I am such a huge fan of his,” she said. “I was very happy and very lucky to get his time to do it. And he did a fabulous job, I’m very proud of him as an artist and I’m very proud of the job he did on ‘The Hardest Stone’, [it’s] one of my favourites on the album.”
