Listen to new twenty one pilots track The Line
Taken from Arcane League Of Legends: Season 2 (Soundtrack From The Animated Series), twenty one pilots have unveiled a brand-new song called The Line.
In the latest episode of their Takeøver Tour Series, twenty one pilots’ production team detail what went into the making of each show…
As twenty one pilots prepare to hit the road this year on both their European Takeøver Tour and U.S. Icy Tour, the band have shared another episode of their on-the-road video series, taking a look at what goes into every show.
In episode six of the Takeøver Tour Series, their lighting director Shap reveals that it took "six weeks straight" to programme the gigs, with the key feature of the tour being that twenty one pilots would be playing multiple gigs per city – building up from intimate venues to huge arenas, with different production and setlists each night.
“One of the most unique things about the Takeøver Tour is we do a different level, a different room, every night in one city," explains Shap (via Alt 98.7). "So we’ll do a 500-cap room on the first night, then a 1,500-cap room the next night, 4,000-cap room the next night, and an arena the last night.
"For most departments it doesn’t change that much. We still have drums, we still have the mic and piano, things like that, but for lighting it changes every night. Everything changes. It’s all about what you can fit in the room."
Shap continues: "So, we have basically four different show files, and we had to design four different kinds in the time it takes to normally do one. We programmed all four of them six weeks straight, about 14 hours a day, with limited breaks. We had to do it all in two months because once the COVID restrictions were removed, we found out we were going."
Incredible!
