Twenty One Pilots Drop New Single, ‘The Contract,’ Detail North American Tour Dates

Just weeks after teasing their latest era, Twenty One Pilots have shared both the lead single from their forthcoming album and a run of North American tour dates.

Dubbed “The Contract,” the single is the Ohio group’s first piece of new music since the release of their seventh album, Clancy, in May 2024. The track is so far the only taster of their upcoming record, Breach, which is scheduled for release in September.

Breach was teased by the band in a social media post in May, indicating that the album’s content would thematically continue the narrative arcs which the band have focused on across the past decade. “Hello Clancy. Hello Blurryface,” they wrote on social media. “Let’s finish this.”

Referencing the titular characters of their 2024 and 2015 LPs Clancy and Blurryface, respectively, the record will ostensibly wrap up the narratives that have also continued across records such as 2018’s Trench and 2021’s Scaled and Icy.

Though the specific release date of Breach is yet to be announced, the record’s arrival will be paired with a run of North American shows, which launch in Cincinnati in September and will keep the pair on the road until late October. 

Much like their latest global trek in support of Clancy, the naming of their upcoming run as The Clancy Tour: Breach seemingly confirms a sense of continuation from their last studio effort, with further specifics expected to arrive in the coming months.
