COLUMBUS — Columbus duo Twenty One Pilots will play the largest headline show of their career on Saturday, Oct. 17, when Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun bring their sold-out homecoming concert to Ohio Stadium.

The band first teased the show in May, when banners bearing its logo appeared at several Columbus music venues the duo played in its early days. The Oct. 17 performance will be the group’s biggest headlining concert to date.

A two-day fan exhibit tied to the concert has also sold out. The museum-style experience displays personal memorabilia and lore from across the band’s eras, including old masks, stage outfits, instruments, handwritten lyrics, tour setlists and props.

On show day, Ohio Stadium parking lots open at 8 a.m., gates open at 4 p.m. and the concert is set to begin at 6 p.m. Guests with field-level tickets must enter through the North Rotunda to receive wristbands for field access, while club, loge and suite ticketholders use the Club Gate on the stadium’s west side.

General-admission ticketholders can pick up line-position wristbands at the Schottenstein Center’s Southwest Rotunda from 6 p.m. to midnight on Friday, Oct. 16, or at Ohio Stadium’s North Rotunda from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on show day.

Arriving early will not help: line positions are assigned by a random-number lottery, and guests who arrive after the distribution windows receive the next available sequential wristband behind the lottery group. Ohio State has also warned of increased traffic, parking demand and road closures around campus throughout the day.
