Twenty One Pilots Unveil New Album ‘Breach’, Drop Single ‘The Contract,’ Announce Extensive Fall 2025 North American Tour

Twenty One Pilots, the acclaimed musical duo, have signaled a new era with a significant triple announcement: details of their seventh studio album, the release of its lead single, and plans for an extensive North American tour. These developments arrive swiftly on the heels of the band’s recent activities, setting a rapid pace for the remainder of 2025.

Seventh Studio Album: ‘Breach’

Confirmed to be their seventh full-length recording, the new album is officially titled ‘Breach‘. The band has set a release window of September 2025 for the project. This follows the release of their previous album, ‘Clancy‘, which became available approximately a year prior, underscoring the duo’s consistent output.

Lead Single: “The Contract” Released

Prologue to the ‘Breach’ album arrived in the form of its first single, titled “The Contract”. The track was released globally on June 12, 2025. Initial reports on the musical direction of “The Contract” indicate a sound consistent with Twenty One Pilots’ established alternative rock and electro-pop origins. The single has drawn comparisons in its sonic approach to the early work of Linkin Park, suggesting a blend of intense energy and melodic structure.

Announcing The Clancy Tour: Breach Dates

Alongside the new music, Twenty One Pilots detailed plans for a major touring cycle across North America scheduled for Fall 2025. This forthcoming series of live performances has been officially titled The Clancy Tour: Breach Dates, positioning it as a continuation or evolution from their recently concluded tour and explicitly linking it to the impending album release.

Initial Tour Itinerary Unveiled

The initial announcement included confirmation of several key dates and locations for the early leg of The Clancy Tour: Breach Dates. The tour is set to launch on September 18, 2025, kicking off at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, OH. The early itinerary continues with a stop on September 20 in Toronto, ON, where the band will perform at Budweiser Stage. Further dates confirmed for September include performances on September 23 at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater in Milwaukee, WI, followed by a show on September 24 at the Credit Union 1 Amphitheater in Tinley Park, IL. Later in the month, Twenty One Pilots are scheduled to play at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, PA, on September 27, and at The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, PA, on September 28. The initial list also confirms a date on September 30, though the specific venue or city for this performance was not detailed in the announcement.

Contextualizing the Band’s Momentum

These rapid-fire announcements provide significant context for the band’s current trajectory. The news arrives shortly after Twenty One Pilots concluded their preceding tour, The Clancy Tour, on May 14, 2025. The swift transition from wrapping up one major tour and album cycle (‘Clancy’) to announcing a new album (‘Breach’), releasing a lead single, and scheduling another extensive tour underscores a period of intense productivity and engagement with their audience, building considerable anticipation for the material and live shows planned for Fall 2025.
