TWENTY ONE PILOTS ANNOUNCE BIGGEST U.S. HEADLINE SHOW OF THEIR CAREER WITH
HOMETOWN SHOW AT OHIO STADIUM OCTOBER 17
PRESALE BEGINS MAY 19, TICKETS ON SALE MAY 22
May 14, 2026 (Los Angeles, CA) - GRAMMY-winning rock sensations Twenty One Pilots will be following up their massive festival run with a hometown stadium show at Ohio Stadium in Columbus. The band will be performing on October 17, marking the biggest U.S. headline performance of their career, with support from Death Cab for Cutie.
The band teased the performance with a grassroots campaign that paid tribute to local venues the band performed at over the last 15 years, including Skully's, The Basement, Newport Music Hall, KEMBA Live!, Schottenstein Center, and Nationwide Arena, complete with “FROM HERE” signs distributed to venues and fans in the area. This all culminated with a massive drone show above Ohio Stadium last night featuring their logo and the big “TO HERE” reveal announcing the show’s location.
Fans can sign up for artist presale at twentyonepilots.com/ohiostadium from now through Sunday, May 17 at 10pm EDT. The artist presale begins May 19 at 10am EDT and ends May 20 at 10pm EDT. Local presales run on May 21 from 10am to 10pm EDT, and the general public on sale begins Friday, May 22 at 10am EDT at twentyonepilots.com/ohiostadium.
This comes amidst the runaway success of “Drag Path,” which was released earlier this year after taking the internet by storm and amassing billions of views online. On May 25, “Drag Path” will have its live debut at the American Music Awards, where the duo is also nominated for Best Rock/Alternative Artist and Best Rock/Alternative Album. Earlier this month, the song reached #1 on the Alternative Airplay chart, bringing Twenty One Pilots to a tie for the second-most all-time #1s at the format with a staggering 14 songs.
The Ohio Stadium performance marks a fitting bookend to a career-defining two years for Twenty One Pilots. In 2025, they released their latest album, Breach, which debuted on #1 on the Billboard 200 with over 200k units in its first week alone, marking the biggest rock debut of the decade and the biggest week in vinyl sales for a rock record since tracking began in 1991. Twenty One Pilots has also traveled the world performing over 100 headline shows across Europe, Australia, South America, and North America. The band sold out stadiums around the globe, including the biggest show of their career in Mexico City with a crowd of 65,000 and their upcoming All Points East performance which will host 45,000 fans. Now, the band is bringing their lauded live show back to their hometown on a larger scale than ever before.
Ahead of the Ohio Stadium performance, the band is gearing up for a European summer run of festivals that also include three US dates at Oceans Calling, Shaky Knees, and Austin City Limits. See full routing below.
