After a year-long hiatus, Twenty One Pilots has returned to the stage on the Bandito Tour promoting their new album, “Trench.”

On the eighth night of the tour, Twenty One Pilots stopped at TD Garden in Boston.

In this installment, fans have traded out the color red for the color yellow. Yellow and black are a part of the color scheme for “Trench.” Twenty One Pilots are not on this tour alone; Awolnation and Max Frost are the opening acts.

I love the element of making an event even grander by dressing up, by playing a part in a world music created. As I arrived, I saw the venue crawling with kids covered in Twenty One Pilots merch, bandanas and yellow duct tape. It really makes us a community.

Sadly, heavy traffic leads us to wait in a long merch line, which then led to missing Max Frost and part of Awolnation’s set. From what I did get to hear from Awolnation I liked.

The lead singer Aaron Bruno did a good job engaging the crowd by having them clap, saying he was looking for the best dancer in the crowd, asking everyone to put their arm around the person next to them and sway to the beat, which created a wave in the audience.

Finally, the much-anticipated wait for Twenty One Pilots was over. They started with “Jumpsuit,” their new lead single. It began with Josh Dun, the drummer walking out with a torch and then revealing a burning car on stage. From that point on it was high energy. During their song “Fairly Local,” the lights went off and when they came back on, Tyler Joseph, the lead singer had gone from the stage into the seated section in the lower bowl of the arena.

Their set list caters to all. It promotes the new album, yet does not leave out older songs. For the casual fans, songs like “Stressed Out” and “Heathens” were played.

For the original fans “Taxi Cab” was played, which has not been played since 2013. After that song, the tempo was picked back up and two covers were performed. The covers were “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls and “Hey Jude” by the Beatles.

For these songs, Max Frost and Bruno and Zack Irons from Awolnation came out to sing them with Joseph. Next, they played “Morph,” another song from “Trench” and “Car Radio,” a song from their third album “Vessel.” In “Morph,” just as the song finished, Dun’s drum kit was moved from to the stage into the crowd — called the “drum island.”

They moved it into the pit and fans in that section literally held up Dun as he finished the song. In “Car Radio” Joseph ran through the crowd on the floor to reach a platform.

One of Joseph’s talents is scaling any structure he can get his hands on during a performance. This is how he finished the song and after that, the set was finished. The encore consisted of two songs: “Leave the City” (Trench) and “Trees” (a song originally on Regional at Best and later added to Vessel).

These two songs encompass the two sides of Twenty One Pilots, slow melodic songs that build up to grandiose anthems.

They have always finished out their performances with “Trees,” and any die-hard fan knows that is when confetti will start to fall. Just as dressing up is important to us, collecting confetti as a souvenir is one too.

The show gave good reason to grab some on our way out.

The attention to detail in the whole show: the visuals, the lights, and the confetti were so special.

As I walked out of the venue, I still saw kids decked out in yellow, except this time, more had wall flags around their shoulders like a cape. And I just think to myself, ‘It’s all over. We are all gonna go home now,’ but that is okay because we knew for the last two hours we were a part of something special.
