Veronica Valentine Camping Out for Twenty-One Pilots Concert, Boston, 2021

From 14th to 18th of October 2021, fans of Twenty-One Pilots camped out on Boston University's campus. Twenty-One Pilots is an American band formed by Tyler Joseph, along with Nick Thomas and Chris Salih ( both of them left the band around 2011), as well as the drummer Josh Dun in 2009. The duo is best known for their single "Stressed Out" as well as " Ride". The duo, Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun won the 59th Grammy in 2017. This is Veronica Valentine, and she is from the Washington Seattle area. She is showing her twenty-one pilots tattoo on her hand. She talked about how the band encouraged her while growing up. Veronica shared how much she appreciates the band in a way that they are both down to earth, and focus their music on mental health awareness. "I was so surprised when they dropped both of their pants during their winning speech of Grammy", says Veronica, " They are so cool. They did it because they promised each other if they ever won a Grammy, they would drop their pants with each other, and they really did it!"
