Here’s how you can hear twenty one pilots’ new album Breach early

twenty one pilots have revealed that some fans will get the chance to hear their new album Breach almost a week ahead of its release.

The duo are putting on global listening events for the record – the surprise follow-up to last year’s 5/5-rated Clancy – beginning on September 6, which is almost an entire week ahead of its arrival on September 12.

Indie record retailers in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Poland, France, Spain, Ireland, Hungary, the Netherlands, Japan and South Africa are taking part, with more locations to be confirmed. Plus, limited-edition picture discs will be available in-store – head here to find out your closest shop.

Speaking to Kerrang! in May about putting a bow on their Blurryface lore (before they had publicly announced Breach), frontman Tyler Joseph explained, “With Clancy, not only is the story that we’ve been telling for a while coming to an end. But it was also different because in the past, I would always try to make my lyrical content different from the last thing that I said, and I was always trying to say something new – or saying something old, but in a new way.

“Clancy was the first album where I felt like I was making a circle back to things that I’ve said before, and being okay with that, and kind of feeling like we just did a walk around the perimeter of who we are as a band, and what our songs are saying, and what they mean to our fans. It’s kind of full-circle, lyrically. It was the first time I felt okay coming back to where we started, in a sense. I don’t know if that makes sense, but it coinciding with the story ending just felt very right.”
