Twenty One Pilots, 2021
Mason Castillo/PressTwenty One Pilots’ frontman Tyler Joseph has compared touring during COVID to the quest undertaken in The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring in a pre-show speech.
Speaking to the crew before their first show at Milwaukee’s Summerfest at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater, Tyler Joseph used a quote from the film to describe how vulnerable touring during a pandemic still is. Watch it below
“I’ll make this quick. This is happening. We’re actually going to be playing shows. I could not help but think of one of my favourite quotes from one of my favourite movies, Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring,” he said.
“Galadriel says ‘This quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little and it will fail’.
“Why am I telling you that,” he continued, “Well, we’re not in the clear. I know that you guys know there’s a lot of risk involved in going and playing shows right now.”
Diljit Dosanjh is set to take the stage at London’s Wembley Stadium on September 12 for what will be the biggest European performance of his career.
The singer will lead a show at the legendary London venue, which can hold around 90,000 fans, making him the first Punjabi artist and the first Indian artist to headline Wembley Stadium. In 2025, Arijit Singh became the first Indian artist to headline a stadium concert in the U.K. when he performed at the nearby Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Punjabi music icon revealed the news during his concert at Toronto’s Rogers Centre on Sunday, May 31. While sharing the announcement, he noted that he is now part of a select group of performers that includes Michael Jackson, Queen, and Prince, all of whom have headlined the famous stadium. Wembley is also scheduled to welcome major acts such as Harry Styles, My Chemical Romance, Bruno Mars, The Weeknd, and Bon Jovi in the months ahead.
Dosanjh’s most recent performance in London came in October 2024 when he sold out and headlined the city’s 20,000 seat O2 Arena.
Fans will be able to access tickets through an artist presale beginning June 10 at 10 a.m. BST. The general ticket sale is set to start on June 12 at 10 a.m. BST through Live Nation.
At present, Dosanjh is continuing his Aura world tour, with the North American leg having started in Vancouver in April. Since then, he has performed at several major arenas, including two headline dates at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The North American run will wrap up with back to back performances at San Francisco’s Chase Center on June 20 and 21.
In 2025, he released his 15th studio album Aura, and earlier this year he unveiled an updated version of “Senorita” alongside J Balvin. In May, he made his debut appearance at the Met Gala in New York, while in April he returned to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon for a second appearance to promote his latest EP, The Call of the Panjab.
