COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A Grammy award-winning band is coming back to Columbus for hometown performances.

Twenty One Pilots plan to visit Nationwide Arena for two separate shows as part of its “The Clancy World Tour.” The tour is in support of duo Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun’s upcoming album “Clancy,” set to release May 17.

The band’s return home during the tour is scheduled for Friday, Oct 4, and they’ll stick around for a second concert on Saturday, Oct. 5. Columbus is one of only four cities on the tour that received two tour dates, with the others being Chicago, Los Angeles and London in the United Kingdom.

For Ohioans who want to see the local musical powerhouse sooner, Twenty One Pilots will also hold a concert on Sept. 28 at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland. An official artist presale for tickets will launch April 2 in the U.S., and all remaining tickets will go for general sale at 10 a.m. on April 5 on the band’s website.

Twenty One Pilots, which originally formed in Columbus, has amassed over 33 billion streams and sold over 3 million tickets for performances, according to the Fueled By Ramen promotion team. The group’s last performances in Columbus were in 2021.

The concert stops are part of what will make for a busy weekend in Columbus. The Ohio State Buckeyes’ football season will be in full swing, with a game set against Iowa on Oct. 5. The Columbus Crew will also play against the Philadelphia Union on the same day.
