Editor's Note: This article was updated on May 3, 2024 to reflect a new release date, additional song releases and tour details.

In a year that's seeing the return of alt-rock gods Kings of Leon, Vampire Weekend and the Black Keys, Twenty One Pilots are ready to join the party, too.

The GRAMMY-winning rock duo announced on Feb. 29 that their seventh studio album, titled Clancy, will arrive in May via Fueled By Ramen. Along with unveiling the project's cover art and lead single, "Overcompensate," Twenty One Pilots declared in the first teaser that "a new chapter begins" with Clancy — which will also bring a close to the ever-evolving narrative they started in 2015 with Blurryface.

Below, get all of the details Twenty One Pilots have revealed about Clancy.

Its Release Date Was Pushed Back — But Not By Much

When Twenty One Pilots initially announced Clancy, the album was set to be released on May 17, which also happens to be the ninth anniversary of their now multi-platinum breakthrough album, 2015's Blurryface. But as frontman Tyler Joseph shared on Instagram on April 23, the album will now arrive on May 24, as they needed "a little bit more time" because of an ambitious creative venture — but more on that later.

It Has 13 Tracks

Though the duo didn't post the Clancy track list, the song titles can be found on Apple Music. Kicking off with "Overcompensate," the track list is as follows:

1. Overcompensate \
2. Next Semester \
3. Midwest Indigo\
4. Routines In The Night\
5. Backslide \
6. Vignette\
7. The Craving (Jenna's Version)\
8. Lavish\
9. Navigating \
10. Snap Back \
11. Oldies Station\
12. At the Risk Of Feeling Dumb\
13. Paladin Strait

Three Songs Are Already Out

A few hours after announcing Clancy, Twenty One Pilots unveiled the album's lead single, "Overcompensate." After a nearly two-minute synth intro that builds over a racing beat, the song sees singer Tyler Joseph return to his signature rap-inspired delivery. Its swirling production and echoing vocals feel reminiscent of Trench, which — as they've hinted — isn't a coincidence.

They've released one more track each month leading up to Clancy's release. On March 27, the duo unveiled "Next Semester" alongside a half rock show, half(literal) road show music video; and on April 25, they debuted the visual for "Backslide."

Each Track Will Get The Video Treatment

As Joseph explained in an Instagram video, the biggest reason Clancy's release date was pushed back by a week is because he wants every song to have a music video. "It’s because I love these songs, and I believe in them enough to pretend to sing in front of a camera to each one. And that's what we're gonna do, because that's how I want to present this album."

It seems they might also share glimpses into the filming of some of the videos, as they did with "Next Semester."

It Takes Fans Back To 'Trench'

Despite the fact that TOP's first album teaser noted that "a new chapter begins" with Clancy, the cryptic clip proclaimed, "I am returning to Trench. I am Clancy." As the duo's fans know, Trench is the name of their 2018 LP; the project was the most conceptual and ambitious album to date, which could mean the same for Clancy. (In fact, the bridge of "Overcompensate" even features two references to two Trench tracks; "Welcome back to Trench" mirrors the outro of Trench track "Levitate," followed by lyrics taken from the bridge of "Bandito.")

Perhaps uncoincidentally, the red, yellow and black cover art vaguely calls back to the Trench cover art, which featured a smoky yellow color and a vulture.

It's The Finale To An Album Series

A press release revealed that Clancy "marks the final chapter in an ambitious multi-album narrative" which kicked off with Blurryface in 2015. What that means for the Twenty One Pilots' future is unclear, but neither their posts nor the release noted that it's their final album altogether.

The Clancy World Tour Kicks Off This Summer

When Twenty One Pilots released "Next Semester" in March, they also announced The Clancy World Tour. Their biggest headlining tour to date, the trek will start in North America, kicking off in Denver on Aug. 15. The tour will make four stops in New Zealand and Australia in November, then pick up again in April 2025 for a stretch in Europe and the UK before wrapping with two shows at The O2 in London on May 13 and 14, 2025.

It'll Be Available In Many Formats

For those who still love to buy physical albums, Twenty One Pilots have quite the array of options. Clancy will be available in a variety of physical formats, including two limited-edition deluxe box sets, four vinyl variants with additional retailer exclusives, an exclusive CD and Journal Book, and a Cassette and Photocard Wallet. 

You Can Pre-Order It Now

If any of those pique your interest, you can head to Twenty One Pilots' official store, as everything is already available for pre-order. You can also pre-save/pre-add the album on streaming services to stay up to date as the pair continues to take fans deeper into the world of Clancy.
