Twenty One Pilots rock Sziget 2026 with The White Stripes cover

In partnership with Sziget Festival.

Twenty One Pilots covered The White Stripes as they headlined the second day of Sziget 2026.

The band – comprised of singer/guitarist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun – brought their current festival run to Budapest, following stops across Europe.

Towards the end of their performance, a video played on the big screens, showing a pre-recorded message from The White Stripes frontman Jack White. “I’m Jack White, and I give Tyler and Josh permission to do this,” he told the camera.

As the screens cut back to the action on stage, the pair tore into a version of ‘Seven Nation Army’, uniting the audience in a huge sing-along of the riff.

As the last notes of the cover reverberated around the Island of Freedom, Joseph addressed the crowd, thanking them for their reception. “If you would have us back, we’d love to come back,” he added.

O set do Twenty One Pilots foi repleto de sucessos e favoritos dos fãs de todo o seu catálogo. Após iniciar as coisas com ‘Overcompensate’, eles passaram para ‘The Contract’, que viu Joseph balançando seu microfone no ar.

The set was littered with pyrotechnics and blasts of smoke, while ‘Drum Show’ saw Dun undertake his usual journey offstage and onto a tower with a secondary drum kit, looming over the audience.

Later, Joseph joined in the antics, clambering up a structure in the middle of the field for ‘Ride’.

The pair closed out their set with ‘Stressed Out’ and ‘Trees’, dropping more fireworks and smoke before they headed off.

Day two of Sziget 2026 also saw performances from Biffy Clyro, Ashnikko, TOMORA, Natasha Bedingfield, HEALTH, and more. The festival will continue today (August 13) with a headline set from Florence + The Machine, plus appearances from Lewis Capaldi, Fcukers, Parcels, Loyle Carner, Richie Hawtin and more.

Earlier this year, Twenty One Pilots released a concert film, More Than We Ever Imagined, capturing a Mexico City gig on their ‘The Clancy World Tour’, which saw them perform to 65,000 people.

Joseph and Dun provided commentary throughout the film, reflecting on their journey to the career milestone.
