Clancy (album)

***Clancy*** is the seventh studio album by the American musical duo Twenty One Pilots. It was released on May 24, 2024, through Fueled by Ramen and Elektra Records. It is a concept album. The album is named after the protagonist introduced in the band's fifth studio album, *Trench* (2018).

The album received positive reviews. It debuted at number two and three on the UK Albums Chart and *Billboard* 200 respectively. The album is supported by the Clancy World Tour, which started in Denver in August 2024. 

## Promotion 
On February 15, 2024, the album covers for *Vessel* (2013), *Blurryface* (2015), *Trench* (2018) and *Scaled and Icy* (2021) on streaming platforms were partially covered with red tape. On February 19, the band's new logo was displayed on many billboards and posters. He ends the video by stating he would be "returning to Trench". The album's first single, "Overcompensate", was released on the same day. The third single, "Backslide", was released on April 25. The fourth single, "The Craving", was released on May 22. This version was subtitled "(Single Version)" instead of the album's "(Jenna's Version)". Both songs have different instrumentation and production. They would be released together with the album. This was due to the need for more time to finish the production of the music videos. The release did not include the ones for the singles and for "Paladin Strait". It was released later on June 21. 

## Tour 
A concert tour in support of the album, the Clancy World Tour, was announced when "Next Semester" was released.

On August 9, New Zealand alt-pop band Balu Brigada was announced to be the opening act for the US leg of the tour. They had also opened for the Australia & New Zealand, Latin American and the European tour legs. 

A second North American leg was announced with the release of "The Contract", the lead single of *Breach* (2025). This leg was titled as The Clancy Tour: Breach and supported both *Clancy* and *Breach*.
