The Chainsmokers are taking some heat for the similarities between their tour and that of Twenty One Pilots.
Fans of the pop/rock band have gone as far to say the EDM duo is blatantly “ripping off” The Bandito Tour with the World War Joy Tour. Both are massive world tours currently underway.
Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun launched The Bandito Tour nearly a year ago, in October 2018, and are still selling out shows. Meanwhile, Alex Pall and Drew Taggert launched their highly anticipated World War Joy Tour this past Wednesday.
Since then, a swarm of tweets have surfaced calling out The Chainsmokers for their alleged plagiarism. Comparisons have been drawn between both tours’ use of torch flame and floating stages.
Read some of the tweets below – and see what The Chainsmokers had to say in response at the bottom.
