One of my favourite moments in my life so far has to be the 21 Pilots Clancy Tour Concert that me and my husband went to see a few weeks ago in London at the 02 arena 14th May 2025.

I have been an avid 21 Pilots fan since ‘Blurry Face’… And I consider myself part of their Clique. Their music just resonates with me on a high level and their lyrics hold meaning that cuts deep with not just me but a lot of their fans.

One thing I love about the band which includes Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun is their ability to create worlds out of lyrics, music, beats, vibes and their music videos. I have watched Blurry face merge into something that coincides with the likes of the Torch Bearer, and Clancy who struggle with the Bishops who to me are like demons of fears, fears that we in life have to overcome. And Tyler Joseph the lead singer gives such a soul filled vocal storyline to each of the songs and clearly has made this alter ego, was Blurry face now named Clancy that is fighting and defeating each of his demons and Bishops a higher purpose and meaning, he is the main character, the one that needs to defeat and overcome the last Bishop… Nico.

I’m highly anticipating there new album and where the pair will take the story to. There are rumours that this is the end… I’m hoping just the end for Blurry face and not for the boys making music but I do have to admit they work their asses off, creating music, performing like nothing I have ever witnessed before, and they do also have wives and kids at home so maybe it is time for them to eventually slow down. But for complete selfish reason’s I bloody hope they don’t and they continue making music for years to come.

My favourite album has to be ‘Clancy’ although I actually really love all of them, and their newest song ‘The Contract’ is just chef kiss perfection and I’m so excited for their new album!!! Like… EEEEEEEK!!!

The actual concert itself was… Amazing!

It was held at the 02 arena and we were there for their last tour date of Clancy. And I’m so happy we got to go and experience the amazing musical world of TOP!

The atmosphere in the arena was just something else, it was like all your senses being awoken and attacked all at once. People were exited, happy, tingling with anticipation and then when they arrived on stage it was the best. The music boomed through the arena, and took us straight into the world of Tyler and Josh, Blurry face, Torch bearer and Clancy… The music told the story and you could see how much hard work and thought had gone into such a performance. They seemed to play for hours! And I have to hand my hat our to them both, they were on it the whole time.

Josh on the drums must be fit as a fiddler, his arms were on that drum set all night never missing a beat. Tyler with his voice, how he doesn’t lose it is beyond me because his sung with such intense soul and power it was mesmerising. They both had such energy, back flips off pianos, rising up on stages in different parts of the arena so all parts of the crowd can see them, the finale where they burst the drums and sprayed the world with confetti… It was magical.

What was also amazing was how much their fans love and adore them. Everyone knew every single lyric, and when it came to performing ‘The Judge’, it was mostly sung by the audience until Tyler took over. You could see in Tyler’s face and Josh’s that they could see how loved they truly are but also how much happiness they bring to others with their music.

What was also amazing was experiencing this with my best friend… My husband. We have both been through hell and back the past 6 – 10 years, but this was something we finally got to do together, just me and him and it was perfect. We danced together, sung together and got to enjoy something in life for once together. I don’t think 21 Pilots will ever realise the magnitude of the power of their music, how it can bring people together and heal. I just wish I could go back again, and again, and again to watch this concert, this performance It is something I will never forget!!! I can still hear and feel the thrum of the music, the bass, the heart and soul vibrating through my veins. Even now I can close my eyes and I’m still there, having the best moment of my life.

My favourite songs they played were:

• Vignette
• Paladin Strait
• Overcompensate
• The Judge
• Heathens
• Tear in my heart
• Blurry Face
• Routines in the night
• Navigating
• Heavy Dirty Soul
• Doubt
• Ride
• Jumpsuit
• Next Semester
• Trees
• Lavish
• Basically all of them…

My most favourite, favourite, favourite song of theirs has to be Paladin Strait. I don’t know what it is about this song, but it just takes my breath away and leaves me feeling like I’m in another world, like I’m not really here anymore, I’m somewhere else and someone else. I actually started writing my current Work in Progress because of this song. I had a medical issue, one that was scary… And this song just spoke to me and create this new idea in my mind, created this new world with characters based on my medical worry and another character I made up. But I see this world when ever I hear this song and it just takes me straight there. It just means to much to me. Even my husband says when ever he hears this song now he just thinks of me…

So this was One of my favourite moments… Ever!!!

And I imagine that it was also One of the favourite moments for many, many people around the world who listen to their music and managed to get tickets to go and see them. I just hope to god that with their new album they come back on tour someday soon because I will be right there with my husband again. Listening, dreaming and being immersed in their world.
