The first round of the Twenty One Pilots started over two years ago with a cracker in the digital world. As gaming platform Roblox announced on Thursday, September 9th, the world’s acclaimed new pop rock musicians will present the most interactive concert ever on September 17th at 7pm (European Daylight Time).
Tyler Joseph and Josh Dunn play the songs of their new album “Scaled & Icy” as an avatar in a flashy setting. The group list can be determined by the participating fans. There are also other interactive features. A short video can be seen on the band’s Twitter account, in which the musicians swing their instruments and turn their green screen studio into a touring stage. The concert repeats every hour around the clock until September 19 at 2 p.m.
Your squad has been invited to perform in the Roblox metaverse. Our goal is to always deliver offers to as many people as possible. We are really looking forward to that. https://t.co/hAZEuwlnbS pic.twitter.com/JMqahXpsSE

Twenty-one pilots and virtual worlds
Twenty One Pilots are aspiring pioneers at the intersection of music and virtual worlds. She actually played her concept album “Trench” from 2018 in the fictional city of Dima. According to Roblox Director Vlassopulos, the gaming platform is the logical place to “bring Dema and all those things from your scripts to life.”
In addition, 30 exclusive virtual items appear in this vein, such as bands, ski masks, and hats that carry the famous Twenty One Pilots logo arsenal. In this context, the specialized magazine “Billboard” reminded the public that the virtual currency purchased by fans for it is a “profitable source of income for artists.” “The Lil Nas X merchandise line is on track to generate eight-figure amounts by the end of the year,” Roblox strategist Vlasopoulos was quoted as saying.
Despite these sunny prospects in the digital space, the “real” tour of the Twenty One Pilots begins on September 21 in Denver/Colorado. But here too, by definition, analog and digital must be closely intertwined.
