Twenty-one pilots end every night Clancy Visit the same way. Members Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph built two custom drums in the crowd, relying on fans around to lift their equipment and bring the show home with a cathartic show of “trees.” They poured water on the drums and baptized the surrounding area into the beats, as confetti were around the arena.
When the lights were on, some fans snuggled up at night to grab some confetti when they were playing in the AO Arena in Manchester recently. Another fan, with them, collected colorful scraps, and picked up the drums without picking up some debris from the floor instead of picking up some debris stuck to the soaked drums.
"Girl, I really don't think you should accept it." In a video spread among twenty-one pilot fanatics, a witness can be heard telling the drum thief. "Did I just witness the crime?" said another fan. "She actually just stole the drum. Am I crazy? She couldn't catch it and leave." No one stood in the editing, trying to stop people from leaving the stage with their instruments. But once it became clear that the drum really disappeared and Tøp's group became the FBI.
"People really keep an eye on the people who stole the tree drum. They are one of them, and they can't make another person in time." X, a popular fan account on @shlofolina, sharing screenshots from the video, hoping to identify them. The AO Arena has a capacity of about 23,000 people, which allows enough eyes to conduct temporary investigations on the ground.
Representatives of twenty-one pilots did not respond immediately Rolling stonesMake a request for comment.
"Obviously someone stole the 'tree' drums and they were able to get out of the security because they told security Josh to give them or something like that, now no one can find it anywhere." One fan Becca said on Instagram via a popular fan account @eggtyler, which has over 80,000 followers. “There is a safe and safe, and it’s actually a tour around the venue trying to find this guy.”
She added: "If literally someone went to the show tonight, knew that person, saw that person walking out, saw Uber - literally, you could send me a message that I could somehow try to make it out or use this platform I own. But yeah, it was crazy." In a follow-up post, a fan commented that they saw that person back to a hotel where they lived, but didn't expect to stop them. They said: “With that in mind, I think how lucky they are.”
In the comments under the post on X, another witness provided the key details and wrote: "It's a person outside! They've taken a step."
Within hours, fans had enough information to forward the band’s safety team and members of the circuit crew, including the name of the hotel where the drums seemed to eventually arrive. By the morning, Sax captured the band’s behind the scenes and shared an update on Instagram: “We have drums!!!!! – Thank you for all the tags and information.”
Some attendees saw the collapse as a violation of the self-evident code of conduct among the band’s close ties. One fan commented on Instagram: "I'm so happy to be back with the legal owner. I didn't sleep because we've been following the hotel." Another added: "'We're twenty-one pilots, so are you." What does that mean to us, and this is what we stole!
