Image Group LA/ABCTwenty One Pilots will kick off the winter leg of their Emotional Roadshow tour this week, and the duo has no plans to make this outing any less extravagant.
"I think fans want a show," drummer Josh Dun tells the Hartford Courant. "I've always felt that way. We've done whatever it takes to entertain. I've played in a gorilla costume. It goes back to the days when you're playing bars and there are only a handful people there and half of them are talking with each other. Every time I do a back flip off of the piano, it's fun for me and it's something different for the audience."
"[Vocalist] Tyler [Joseph] and I love to take chances," he adds. "We're up for anything to make the show better."
Like they did over the summer, Twenty One Pilots will be playing arenas all over the country on the tour, including the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the United Center in Chicago and the American Airlines Arena in Dallas. They'll be supporting their 2015 breakout album Blurryface, which boasts the hit singles "Stressed Out" and "Ride."
"It's amazing how well we're doing," Dun says. "We love having the fans we have. But the most important thing is to push ourselves. We're constantly coming up with new ideas. We don't want to make the same album over and over again."
"We have so much more music to make," he adds.
Twenty One Pilots' winter Emotional Roadshow tour begins January 17 in Providence, Rhode Island and will conclude March 5 in Louisville, Kentucky.
