This drone grew slowly louder as the clock ticked closer to 8:30, and when it ticked over, the sounds of Fairly Local filled the air. The arena lights stayed dim, and a low drone filled the air.

In true twenty one pilots pilots fashion, the suspense started as soon as support act SAFIA finished their set. Despite the massive video screens and the epic lights, the show stayed true to the band I saw in that 900 cap venue in Melbourne. The issue a lot of artists can face when playing venues the size of the Adelaide Entertainment Centre is the show not being intimate beyond the first few rows of the pit. The first time I saw the band headline was in a 900 capacity room in Melbourne, which happened shortly after the band opened for Paramore on the Self Titled Tour. This dedication doesnвЂ™t come as a surprise, as the bandвЂ™s fan base, known as the Clique, are notoriously dedicated in every aspect.ДЇor someone like myself, seeing twenty one pilots play such a big venue in my hometown was a big deal. The bandвЂ™s long-awaited arrival in Adelaide prompted fans to start lining up the night before the show was even due to happen. Columbus, OH natives twenty one pilots made their Adelaide headline debut on Wednesday night, performing to a packed Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
