twenty one pilots drop new single, announce North American tour

twenty one pilots have just unveiled The Contract: the lead single from this September’s surprise eighth album Breach.

The track – and accompanying mind-bending video – picks up where Paladin Strait from last year’s 5/5-rated Clancy left off, and is the first taste of what we can expect from the duo’s always-inspiring lore. Bonus: it was also co-written by none other than YUNGBLUD!

Plus, following the recent The Clancy World Tour, the band have just unveiled a new North American leg of shows entitled The Clancy Tour: Breach, where fans will presumably get to hear The Contract live along with many other new tracks (we hope). Tickets go on general sale next Friday, June 20 from 10am local time.

Watch the video for The Contract below:
