Twenty One Pilots Hosting ‘Breach’ Album Listening Parties at Record Stores Across the U.S. and Globe

Twenty One Pilots are ready for the world to hear their upcoming eighth studio album, Breach. In fact, they’re so excited about it that they’re planning a global listening event at record stores across the world a week before the LP’s release date (Sept. 12).

The band announced the roster of indie record retailers that will host the album replays on Sept. 6 and 7, which will also include exclusive giveaways. According to a map posted by the band, the events are currently scheduled to take place in nearly every state in the U.S.; at press time there were no parties planned in Iowa, Arkansas, Hawaii or New Mexico, though the band said more locations will be announced soon.

That means that fans in Arizona can pop into a local Zia Record in Tucson, or Grace Records in Gilbert, Run Out Groove Records in Burbank, Programme Skate & Sound in Fullerton or 1-2-3-4 Go! Records in Oakland (all in California), while Ohio residents can pop in to Republic of Athens Records in Athens, Magnolia Thunderpussy in Columbus or Toxic Beauty Records in Yellow Springs.

In addition to multiple locations in each state, the sessions will also be held on Sept. 10 in Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto and Montreal in Canada, Sept. 11 in Mexico City, the Netherlands, Hungary, Switzerland, Austria, Spain and Germany, Sept. 10 in Poland, Ireland and France and Sept. 6 across the U.K. Down Under Skeleton Clique members can pop into shops in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne and Auckland on Sept. 10 and 11, while on Sept. 11 fans in Japan can log into a YouTube listening party and those in South Africa can pop into Surfarosa in Cape Town.

Limited edition picture discs will be available at each location beginning while supplies last.

So far, the duo has released the single “The Contract” from the album that will thematically continue the narrative arc that began with 2015’s Blurryface and continued on 2018’s Trench, 2021’s Scaled and Icy and 2024’s Clancy. 21P will kick off the Clancy Tour: Breach 2025 stadium/amphitheater run on Sept. 18 with a show at Cincinnati’s TQL Stadium.
