Breach is the upcoming eighth studio album by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots, scheduled to be released on September 5, 2025,[1] through Fueled by Ramen.[2] It is a follow-up to the duo's seventh album Clancy (2024), and is intended to conclude a conceptual series which began with Blurryface (2015) and also included Trench (2018), Scaled and Icy (2021), and Clancy.
Background and promotion
[edit]On May 21, 2025, nearly a year since the release of their seventh studio album Clancy, and the fourth anniversary of their 2021 album Scaled and Icy, Twenty One Pilots announced their next album, Breach,[2] to be released in September.[3] The announcement followed a series of cryptic clues and Easter eggs shared across social media and during the final shows of The Clancy World Tour. Among these Easter eggs were several bits of morse code scattered throughout the final letters of the Fan Premiere Exhibits.[4] Breach is set to continue the narrative arcs established in their previous works, particularly Clancy and Trench (2018).[5]
The duo stated that Breach would serve as the final installment in the storyline, alluding to "Paladin Strait"—the closing track of Clancy—which had acted as a cliffhanger, ending with Nico grabbing Clancy by the neck.[6] The project is therefore intended to conclude the duo's decade-long "lore", first established in Blurryface (2015).[7] Tyler Joseph previously teased the record in an interview, stating they were entering a "gap of nothingness" he could only describe as "not nothing".[8]
The artwork depicts the duo dressed in mostly black attire, similar to the cover art of Clancy, further supporting the idea of a continued narrative.[9] In announcing the album, Twenty One Pilots revealed that the lead single, "The Contract", would be released on June 12, 2025.[10] Following the announcement, the first pressings of Breach on vinyl and CD became available for preorder.[11]
Tour
[edit]A 23-show North American concert tour, The Clancy Tour: Breach, was announced alongside the release of "The Contract". An extension of the Clancy World Tour and supporting both Clancy and Breach, it is scheduled to commence on September 18, 2025, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and conclude on October 26 in Los Angeles, California.[12]
