Information

For the most part, only seven Twenty One Pilots' concerts in 2009 are known and have been confirmed based on the band's social media posts on Myspace[1] and Twitter. One of them was discovered by setlist on Fan Premier Exhibit 15 August 2024.

In the publicly available resources of the Internet it is possible to trace only the second half of 2009 from June. In Webarchive the earliest saving of Twenty One Pilots page on Myspace is January 6, 2010[2], although there are screenshots of earlier saves on the Internet[3], where some information about the reality of the concerts is confirmed. Also on the Twitter page there are an old posts with concert announcements and other information about the band's activity from that period. Concert from FPE was signed like the first show of the band.

An interview with Chris Salih[4] and Nick Thomas[5] mentions some shows between late 2008 and early 2009 where they performed unknown songs that didn't make it onto the debut album and possibly early versions of Self Tittle songs. In Nick Thomas' interview with The Twenty One Pilots Podcast, he mentions that the band has performed covers of other artists[6].

From the known part of the tour, not many concerts were played by the band, by how much the band had to book nights for a concert or participate in festivals and music events. According to Nick Thomas' recollection, the band's early gigs lasted no more than 20-30 minutes.

Only 6 dates[7] from an unrecorded period of performances and without correct date and place are known, and some of their authenticity is questionable.

Other (posters, tickets, etc.)

There wasn't that much merch at the band's 2009 shows. At the early shows (roughly from May-June) the band distributed and sold CDs of their debut self-released EP Jonnhy Boy.

In early September, Twenty One Pilots announced on Twitter that they had ordered a batch of merch, mostly T-shirts with the band's name and logo. At the end of the year, at a concert in the Basement, the band sold CDs of the album of the same name along with the T-shirts. Also we have picture of paper with setlist of first show of the band, most likely 2009, as it features many of the band's later songs from their debut album.
