After a yearlong hiatus, genre-blurring rock duo Twenty One Pilots on Wednesday premiered two new songs and announced a new fall tour, with the fourth show happening at the new Milwaukee Bucks arena Oct. 20. 

"The Bandito Tour" is in support of the duo's new album "Trench," out Oct. 5. The album is the follow-up to "Blurryface," which featured huge hits "Ride" and "Stressed Out." The duo's last big single, "Heathens" for the "Suicide Squad" movie in 2016, went platinum six times over in the United States.

On Wednesday, the band posted a video for the new song "Jumpsuit" on YouTube, and released the audio for "Nico and the Niners" to streaming services.

Twenty One Pilots is renowned for its electrifying live show. Its last appearance at the Rave's Eagles Ballroom in 2015 — where members Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun gave each other tattoos on stage – made the Journal Sentinel's list of best concerts of the year. 

Alternative rock duo Twenty One Pilots Wednesday announced a new album, "Trench," and "The Bandito Tour," which comes to the new Milwaukee Bucks arena Oct. 20.
