One user said: "Twenty One Pilots killed it last night in Birmingham on the first night of their UK Bandito tour.

"Invading, crossing and being carried by the audience, with pyro, smoke, lasers, and the most precise, heavy beats. Loved it.

Another agreed, saying: "I was dragged along to your Birmingham show by my daughters last night. I didn’t know a lot of your stuff but WOW what a fantastic show. Thanks for a great evening."

The tour continues on Monday at Glasgow's SSE Hydro Arena before going to Manchester Arena and then London's SSE Arena, Wembley, for three dates.
