Twenty One PilotsA new concert film about one of the world’s most loved groups, Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined, will have a cinema and IMAX release next month.
With limited IMAX previews scheduled for Wednesday, 25 February, and a worldwide release from Thursday, 26 February, the film – announced by Trafalgar Releasing and Twenty One Pilots – will track their February 2025 sold-out show in Mexico City in support of their latest album, Clancy.
The concert film chronicles the career-defining concert, during which the duo – singer and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun – performed to 65,000 fans. Tickets to the cinema release will be available on Thursday, 15 January. To find out more, head to the Twenty One Pilots film website.
More Than We Ever Imagined combines cinematic performance footage, capturing the duo’s signature high-energy shows, with intimate, behind-the-scenes scenes that showcase the heart, humour, and humanity of Twenty One Pilots. Fans will get to follow the pair from their arrival in Mexico City to the stage, feeling every moment of anticipation.
Directed by Mark C. Eshleman, the film is something of a passion project, with Eshleman revealing that he’s followed Joseph and Dun around the world for 16 years. The project features 20 cameras that follow the fans while also showing the artists' perspective, with just one camera tracking their journey.

Eshleman explained, “I have spent the better part of the last 16 years of my life following Twenty One Pilots around the world. I have seen them play clubs that were in the basements of bigger clubs for an audience made up of only the other bands on the bill. I have seen them play those clubs as if they were on a festival stage during a headline slot and then quietly drag their gear up the steps and into a trailer that limped behind our touring van.”
“They would chat for hours, fine-tuning the show basically no one saw. Their fingers never leave the pulse of the performance; they swear by preparation and a vision.”
Eshleman continued, “For ‘More Than We Ever Imagined,’ we were given the opportunity to capture two perspectives of a Twenty One Pilots performance: over 20 cameras centered around the fans experiencing their show and, the second, the perspective I have had all these years leading up to that sold out stadium in Mexico City, a camera following Tyler and Josh as they take the fundamentals of their show and apply to one of the biggest stages.”
Kymberli Frueh, EVP of Programming and Content Acquisitions for Trafalgar Releasing, added: “From building an audience one fan at a time to becoming a global touring force, Twenty One Pilots continue to redefine the magic of concert tours.”
“This all-new film marks their second time bringing a concert experience to cinemas — and their first with IMAX — delivering the scale, sound, and shared energy that make it feel as close to being at the live show as possible.”
Twenty One Pilots performed in Australian arenas in support of Clancy in November 2024. Reviewing their show at Rod Laver Arena, The Music’s Sam Mead wrote:
The duo brought their very best performance to Rod Laver Arena, a mix of thunderous rock complemented by soaring ballads and a near-flawless, polished production that only added to the drama and intrigue of the night. TØP are at the very top of their game, with their live show bordering on the unmissable next time they’re in town.
