On September 21, 2025, the Ohio-based musical duo, Twenty One Pilots, consisting of singer/ musician, Tyler Joseph and drummer, Josh Dun, were set to play Budweiser Stage in Toronto, Canada, on their third night of The Clancy Tour: Breach. This would be their second night in Toronto.

The energy in the air was buzzing, many still living off the high of attending the concert the previous night, while others will about to experience the show for the first time. Many fans travelled for the show as well, some coming from countries in Europe, as well as Ukraine and Brazil, as the band doesn’t have plans to tour in these locations. Toronto is the only Canadian stop on the tour as well.

As fans trickled into venue grounds, it was clear that this band has a dedicated fan base. Nearly every single attendee had dressed up for the occasion, wearing outfits inspired by characters in the band’s lore, basing their outfit on an album, taping their shoulders and hands, wearing their iconic colours of red, black, yellow, and green, or simply wearing pieces of band merch. Even some staff members had bracelets to trade! You could also sense such a strong sense of community, as many fans brought small items to trade and give away, such as art pieces inspired by the band, bracelets, pins and patches, and photo cards.

Another highlight of the day was when the band’s creative/ content director, Mark C Eshleman, and photographer, Mase, came out to film content of fans. They filmed art, outfits, and fans singing along to the band’s song, “We Don’t Believe What’s on TV”, of which would be used later on in a fan video during the show.

As the gates to the venue finally opened, fans who had waited all day for the show rushed towards their seats and places in general admission, while others took the time to admire the “Bandito Camp”, set in the lawn of the venue. The lawn is where B-Stage was held, and Bandito Camp featured a couple of tents placed and decorated around the venue featuring items from their lore, such as Bandito recruitment posters, playable ukuleles, and a Toronto flag for fans to sign.

However, the stress of the night began as fans learnt that the opener, Dayglow, had their set cut due to severe storms approaching. This meant that Twenty One Pilots took to the stage at approximately 7:45, rather than their usual time of 8:45.

The concert opened with the band’s popular first single and opener to their album “Clancy”, “Overcompensate”, and the energy and volume of the crowd was unbelievable. The energy continued during the entire night, however, due to the storms, they were only able to play 16 out of their usual 28 song set. This meant that fan-favourites, such as “Heavydirtysoul”, “The Line”, and “Stressed Out” didn’t make it on the setlist for the night.

The band did not let the weather stop them from squeezing in as many songs as possible, as they performed “Tear in my Heart”, “Shy Away”, and a sparks-filled performance of “Heathens”. They also managed to play their B-Stage set, including setting a car on fire during a couple of the songs, and performed with fans who dressed up as their character “Ned” when they played “Chlorine”.

During a moment in the show, the drummer, Josh Dun, playing his role as “Torchbearer”, lit a torch from the flaming car, and picked up the flag from the Bandito Camp, which fans were able to sign, and attached it to a flagpole. He carried the flag and torch through the venue back to the main stage, where a curtain dropped to reveal the city of Dema, representing a very critical moment in the band’s lore.

They also had pyro during “Jumpsuit”, played their radio hit, “Ride”, and played their iconic closer song, “Trees”, while standing on a platform held by the crowd as confetti rained down.
Although fans were disappointed by the outcome of the night, they tried to make the most of it by leaving the venue singing songs from the band, and dancing outside with one another in the rain. Although sad, many were very grateful that the band chose to play at all, rather than cancel the show entirely.
