Twenty One Pilots (stylized in all lowercase or as twenty øne piløts) are an American musical duo from Columbus, Ohio. Initially a band, the group was formed in 2009 by lead vocalist Tyler Joseph along with Nick Thomas and Chris Salih, who both left in 2011. Since their departure, the line-up has consisted of Joseph and drummer Josh Dun. The duo is best known for their singles "Stressed Out", "Ride", and "Heathens".

The group received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards for "Stressed Out". The band independently released two albums, Twenty One Pilots (2009) and Regional at Best (2011), before being signed by record label Fueled by Ramen in 2012.

Their label debut, Vessel, was released in 2013 and became the second album in history on which every track received at least a gold certification, making Twenty One Pilots the first band in the history of music to see every song on two albums earn gold or platinum awards.

The duo achieved breakthrough success with their fourth album, Blurryface (2015), which produced the successful singles "Stressed Out" and "Ride" and became the first album on which every track received at least a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America.

The release of the single "Heathens" also made the group the first alternative artist in history to have two concurrent top five singles in the Billboard Hot 100 and the third rock act in history to have two singles simultaneously chart in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100, joining the Beatles and Elvis Presley.

The duo has released six studio albums in total, with the latest being Scaled and Icy, released on May 21, 2021. They have also garnered ten No. 1 songs on the Alternative Songs chart, making them the artist with the fourth-most number-one songs on the chart, just below Linkin Park.

On March 4, 2019, five months after the release of their fifth studio album Trench, the band confirmed that they were working on their next studio album.[147] About the possible theme, Joseph said, "there's a character that hasn't been talked about on any record yet that plays a huge role in the narrative that obviously will need to be talked about and it's probably where we're going next".

The duo's sixth studio album, Scaled and Icy, was released on May 21, 2021.[154][155] The album's name is an anagram, which spells out "Clancy is dead", and is a play on the phrase "scaled back and isolated", penned by Joseph.[156] The album was first teased on April 6, 2021 through dmaorg.info-a website the band uses to share lore-via a poster including the text "New Album and Livestream Experience". The album was officially announced by the band a day later. The album's lead single "Shy Away" was released the same day, along with a music video.[157] The second single from the album, "Choker", was released on April 30, 2021, alongside a music video.[158] The third single from the album, "Saturday", was released on May 18, 2021.

On June 16, 2021, the duo announced the Takeover Tour, during which they would spend one full week in each city they visited, performing at small clubs as well as large venues. The tour began in Denver, Colorado in September 2021.[164] On July 23, 2021, the artists Half Alive, Arrested Youth and Jay Joseph were announced as openers for the U.S. leg of the tour.[165] The Icy Tour, a re-branded second leg of the Takeover Tour focusing on arena shows, began in August 2022. For the first time since the band became a duo almost a decade before, these tours featured a dedicated band of live musicians, though their shows continued to make us of backing tracks.

On July 8, 2021, little over a month after the release of Scaled and Icy, the duo released a music video for the song "Saturday".[168] On September 17, 2021, the duo held a virtual concert in the online video game Roblox.

On November 19, 2021, the duo released Scaled and Icy (Livestream Version), which features all of the songs from the livestream concert and "Level of Concern".[170] On December 8, 2021, one year after its initial release, the duo released a music video for the song "Christmas Saves the Year", which utilizes claymation.[171] "The Outside" was issued as the album's fourth single on November 24, 2021, followed by a music video on March 18, 2022.[172] On June 9, 2022, the duo performed new versions of several songs, both old and new, on MTV Unplugged.

On July 22, 2022, Twenty One Pilots released a live performance video in collaboration with the Netflix series Stranger Things, wherein the duo play a mashup of the show's theme song and their 2016 single "Heathens".
