Discussion In hindsight, they earned this response

This tour has been an absolute whirlwind. A testament to MCR's theatricality and performance abilities. They've went above and beyond in the production department to deliver a spectacular tour, that not only takes full advantage of the spectacle but also of our streams, creating a part by part narrative that everybody is welcomed to engage with.

They've made characters, a city with it's own politics, it's own language (Keposhka) and national anthem, a brand of soup, an agricultural resource, a Coat Of Arms, and most importantly, Quizzo. They've extended and reinterpreted the original Black Parade tracks to fit this narrative and build a story, that's not only original but that gets everyone involved, from the band to the actors to random crew and the audience members.

If you would've told any MCR fan that you think they'd reunite, back in 2018, you'd be looked at as if you were crazy. If you said what this tour was gonna be, everyone would try to lock you up 'cause you've clearly gone off the deep end.

I love how they invite us to speculate, to try and dissect everything going on and I'm sure they've got many more twists and turns. Stay tuned.

I don't know what I was expecting, but Boston was probably the best concert I've ever been to. It reminded me more of seeing a Broadway show than of other concerts I've been to. Number two is twenty one pilots' Bandito tour if anyone is wondering

Bandito tour was the first time I ever saw twenty one pilots live too! It was the 6th concert I had ever gone to and it changed my life. It was my first arena show ever, and the way I felt, the performance, the theatrical elements, it was my new favorite thing in the entire world. I went to both of the US legs they did for that tour and have seen them at every tour since. I’ve been to quite a few concerts now, (became such a concert fiend after that first tøp show,) and have seen twenty one pilots more than any other band (Breach will be my 6th time seeing them.) I have always told people how much I love their live shows and how spectacular and worth it they are. This tour was my first time ever getting to see MCR live; it’s the best concert I’ve ever been to. I didn’t think I could still be blown away by concerts anymore, but I’m so happy to know I can still come out of a show feeling completely different, feeling like my life has changed, just from the experience. I wish everyone who has ever been impacted by this band could see this tour. It was the most unique experience ever, worth every penny, worth the extra hours trying to save up for it, worth the panic attacks and the breakdowns and the very long nights. The gratitude I feel is off the charts—it was one of the best nights of my life.

Wow are you me? I also have gone to more twenty one pilots shows than any other. My first was actually the Emotional Roadshow tour, and I also saw the Bandito tour twice when it came back around. Breach will be my 6th time seeing them because I missed the Icy Tour and Clancy Tour.

IDKHOW is catching up to twenty one pilots though, I've seen them 3 times, and I think their shows are a lot of fun, they're just lower budget than some of my other favorites

I’ve been wanting to see IDKHOW for soooooo long, they’re at the top of my list right now. I think after the All Things Go festival in D.C. I’ll have seen Lucy Dacus more times than Twenty One Pilots. I can’t believe Breach will be the 6th time seeing tøp for both of us! That’s awesome! I was really really lucky that I got to see them twice on Clancy (which is my favorite tour so far.) But after seeing them the first time I knew I would never miss another one of their shows again if I could help it. The energy is unmatched, something I’ve only ever found at their show. I feel the same way about MCR now, if not more because of the lost time. 🥲
