Twenty One Pilots Hits Charlottesville

Sydney Pratt, staff writer

For those who listen to the radio, they have most likely heard of the hot band Twenty One Pilots. While this band may not be for everyone, most people cannot help but sing along to their songs. They have a numerous amount of number one hits, but the most popular are “Stressed Out”, “Ride”, and “Heathens”. The band has gotten a lot of publicity and the song “Heathens” was featured in the new movie Suicide Squad. Charlottesville should be prepared because Twenty One Pilots will be playing at the John Paul Jones arena on Sunday, Jan. 22.  The doors open at 7p.m. and is guaranteed to entertain the crowd. Children of all ages can attend, but children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.

Twenty One Pilots, also known as TOP, originated from Columbus, Ohio, and the band consists of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun. The duo have been working together since 2011 and have come very far in their music career. Their music genre consists of alternative hip hop and rap.  One of their most famous songs  is called “Car Radio” , released back in 2013. With their rap like style they are able to appeal to most audiences.

TOP is one of the hottest bands to date, and have sold out almost every show on their last tour. If you are looking forward to seeing their show, tickets should be purchased soon.  This band is one of a kind and is the most original when it comes to songwriting.

While asking students at PVCC most said that they heard of TOP and were excited to hear that they were playing so close to home. Tickets are on sale now!
