Twenty One Pilots have shared details of a new concert film, which will be released in cinemas next month.
‘Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined’ was filmed at the band’s gigantic show in Mexico City last year during the Clancy World Tour, but it is going to be so much more than that. Directed by Mark C. Eshleman, it captures every single moment and every single angle of the performance, from the band’s arrival in Mexico City and behind the scenes preperation to perspectives of fans experiencing the show. It is set to be an all-encompassing spectacle. As much a celebration of the band as it is of the world and community that they have built.
Mark had this to say about the creation of the film, stating, “I have spent the better part of the last 16 years of my life following Twenty One Pilots around the world. I have seen them play clubs that were in the basements of bigger
clubs for an audience made up of only the other bands on the bill. I have seen them play those clubs as if they were on a festival stage during a headline slot and then quietly drag their gear up the steps and into a trailer that limped behind our touring van. They would chat for hours, fine-tuning the show that basically no one saw. Their fingers never leave the pulse of the performance; they swear by preparation and a vision.
“For ‘More Than We Ever Imagined,’ we were given the opportunity to capture two perspectives of a Twenty One Pilots performance: over 20 cameras centered around the fans experiencing their show and, the second, the perspective I have had all these years leading up to that sold out stadium in Mexico City, a camera following Tyler and Josh as they take the fundamentals of their show and apply to one of the biggest stages.”
The film will be arriving in cinemas and IMAX, if you fancy getting really engrossed, from February 26, and IMAX from February 25, for a limited time. Tickets will be available to secure from January 15 from right here.
Twenty One Pilots are set to make their return to the UK for an exclusive show at All Points East on August 30. On top of their headline performance, they will also be joined by the likes of Wunderhorse, REN, BBNO$, PVRIS, Nova Twins, Dead Pony, Kid Kapachi, and LEAP. Tickets are available right now from right here.
