- 1,044 shows
- 98.9% of songs played matched to MusicBrainz
- half of the songs have left the setlist after 674 shows (median survival)
What Twenty One Pilots played at its concerts, night after night, from the setlists on setlist.fm; the discography comes from MusicBrainz.
What stands out
Twenty One Pilots turned into an almost fixed show, and Blurryface is the album that stayed.
Rotation, how much the songs change from one concert to the next, fell from 0.62 (2010, 2011 and 2012) to 0.05 (2022, 2024 and 2025) in its first and last three years with enough shows. Blurryface lost 4 of 14 songs and 71% were still played after 653 shows, while 11 of 11 songs of Twenty One Pilots (median 674 shows) and 6 of 6 of Vessel (median 834) were abandoned. Overall the median survival is 674 shows.
Caveats and limits
- Scaled and Icy lost 8 of 10 songs with a median of 73 shows, but its curve covers only 219 shows.
- Survival is counted in shows, not years, and years with fewer than 5 pairs of consecutive shows are left out of rotation (see Methodology).
How old the songs were: repertoire age
Years between a song's first release and the night it is played, averaged over all the songs played that year.
How to read: Each line is one band. Its height is how many years old the songs played that year were, on average. A rising line means the set leans on older songs; a falling line means newer songs took over.

Median age by tour
Each bar is one tour in one year: a tour that spans several years appears once per year, because a median cannot be combined across years. The diamond marks the mean. Cells with fewer than 15 shows are left out.
How to read: Each bar is one tour in one year. A longer bar means older songs were typically played (the median age, in years); the diamond marks the average.

How much shows change: rotation
How much the setlist changes from one show to the next within a tour, by year. 0 is the same setlist every night; 1 is no song in common.
How to read: Each line is one band. Height is how different one show is from the next on the same tour: 0 means the same songs every night, 1 means no song in common. A falling line means a more fixed show; a rising line, a more changeable one.

How long songs last: survival
Share of the band's songs still in the setlist after t shows since their live debut, by studio album. A curve that stays high is an album whose songs became permanent; one that drops fast is an album that passed through.
How to read: Each line follows one album's songs from the night they were first played live. Height is the share still in the setlist (100% at the start): a high, flat line means the songs stayed, a steep drop means they left quickly. The axis counts shows, not years; the grey line marks half.
