The Grammy-winning hometown group will perform its longest setlist to date, with special guest Death Cab for Cutie.
Public ticket sales began on May 22, following an artist presale registration window that closed on May 17.
The announcement came after a grassroots marketing campaign featuring cryptic red-and-yellow banners reading "FROM HERE" at various Columbus music venues, a stadium projection, and a drone show.
Band Members Discuss Hometown Show
Band members Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun revealed during an appearance on local radio station WNCI-FM 97.9's Dave & Jimmy that they have already toured the venue, nicknamed The 'Shoe.
The musicians discussed the unique milestone of designing a custom setlist for a single stadium performance.
"It's going to feel weird, I think, for us because we've constantly been climbing, like 'what's next?'" said Tyler Joseph, vocalist of Twenty One Pilots.
The frontman also noted that fans attending the performance would witness a visible reaction from the duo on stage as they process the scale of the hometown venue.
"If you come to the show, you're going to watch us, like, there'll be a sense of something coming over us, a realization," said Joseph.

The band members also joked about potential production elements for the upcoming concert, including utilizing the stadium zipline or featuring the Buckeye drum line.
"We have thought about the zipline," said Joseph, adding that he saw MGK do it, so he feels he cannot.
The upcoming performance marks a major return to Columbus, where the band previously held a five-concert run known as the Tour de Columbus in 2017.
Concertgoers can acquire tickets via the Ohio Stadium box office or through online ticketing platforms.
The Grammy-winning duo first emerged from the Columbus music scene before becoming internationally recognized through hit songs including "Stressed Out," "Ride" and "Heathens."
Their blend of alternative rock, hip-hop and pop has helped them build a devoted global fan base.
Twenty One Pilots concerts are known for high-energy production, audience interaction and elaborate visuals that regularly fill arenas and stadiums worldwide.
