Twenty One Pilots are ready for the world to hear their upcoming eighth studio album, Breach. In fact, they’re so excited about it that they’re planning a global listening event at record stores across the world a week before the LP’s release date (Sept. 12).
The band announced the roster of indie record retailers that will host the album replays on Sept. 6 and 7, which will also include exclusive giveaways. According to a map posted by the band, the events are currently scheduled to take place in nearly every state in the U.S.; at press time there were no parties planned in Iowa, Arkansas, Hawaii or New Mexico, though the band said more locations will be announced soon.
