Panic! At The Disco at Fiddlers Green Amphitheatre

Panic at the disco tickets, fiddlers green amphitheatre | greenwood village, colorado.

Panic! At the Disco have had a great year, with the successful release of their latest album and sellout shows they are hitting North America with there latest Tour!

Nearly two years on from their 2011 release and third studio album Vices & Virtues, Brendon Urie returned with an album paying homage to the band's Las Vegas roots. Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die! was produced by Butch Walker (Fall Out Boy, Weezer) and revealed a bundle of high-energy, synth-led anthems, showcasing some of Urie's most open and introspective songwriting to date.

Live reviews

Panic! at the Disco is truly an amazing act to see. This is my second time seeing Panic!, and it didn't fail to impress each time. The concert started with the opening acts "Magic Man", and "Walk the Moon". Magic Man was a wonderful surprise, as it seems they aren't too known. Listen to the song "Paris" and you will see what I am talking about. Walk the Moon, a much more well known act took the stage after. They even premiered a few songs off their new album. Walk the Moon's lead singer Nicholas Petricca is a very entertaining front man, and comes off as very likable. As for Walk the Moon, hearing "Tightrope" and "I Can Lift a Car" was awesome, but nothing could compare to their big hit "Anna Sun". If you are an opening act and you can get everyone in the audience to know the words and sing along to a song, you are doing something right. Overall, I was impressed with both of the openers.

Now on to the headliners Panic! at the Disco. You can say what you want about Panic!'s ever changing style of music throughout the years, but if one thing is for sure, they know how to perform. While I do say they, every Panic! fan has to admit that "they" would be nothing without their lead singer (Brendon Urie). He doesn't talk too much between songs, but he really doesn't need to when he is running around the stage doing back flips.

Their set list started out with the song "Vegas Lights" which is about the city where they grew up. I have to say this is a genius song to start out with as it is so crowd oriented. With the lyrics going "5, 4, 3, 2, 1 more time", it is a perfect opportunity for everyone to put their hands in the air and count the numbers down with their fingers. Not only that, Vegas Lights is just a great song to pump you up. The concert lasted about 90 minutes, and I have to say, they do an amazing job of packing 21 songs into a short amount of time.

Their set list was mostly very rock oriented even though they have a whole album (Pretty. odd.) that is very alternative. During their set list they even did a cover of the Queen song "Bohemian Rhapsody", which I thought was amazing. Here you have a crowd of mostly teenagers singing along to a song from 1975, very cool to see. Outside the venue the homophobic hate group called the Westboro Baptist Church was picketing. Panic! had the genius idea to donate money to the Human Rights Campaign for every member of Westboro that showed up. Can this please become a standard thing? The group ended with their biggest hit "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" where Urie did his second back flip of the night before ending the concert. I have to say that props go to the Panic! fandom who have pretty much perfect call-to-call response times when there are lyrics intended for the audience to sing. Great concert, definitely want to go to many more Panic! concerts!

While E^ST's charismatic supporting set was a welcome contrast to the often-bland supporting acts one might usually find, every person in Hisense Arena was waiting with bated breath for Brendon Urie to appear on stage. When the artsy 10 minute countdown hit the big screen the atmosphere was almost unparalleled with anything I've ever witnessed. Unsurprisingly, Brendon made an extremely flamboyant entrance accompanied by apt silver streamers for (Fuck A) Silver Lining. From the first few seconds of the concert, Brendon's charm and incredible stage presence literally transfixed everyone in the audience. I personally forgot to sing until the second chorus as I was too busy taking in the fact that I was looking at one of my idols in the flesh! Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time got everyone screaming and dancing - an atmosphere that wouldn't waver until Brendon left the stage at the end of the night. The set focused mainly on Pray for the Wicked and Death of a Bachelor but (thankfully) the arena was filled with hardcore fans like myself who not only screamed every word of Panic!'s new material, but belted out euphoric choruses for older hits like Nine in the Afternoon and Nicotine. Brendon's vocal range made it increasingly obvious that he doesn't need auto tune in the slightest, hitting all the high notes in Casual Affair and King of the Clouds perfectly. During Girls/Girls/Boys, the arena was bathed in multi-coloured light from the hearts handed around to every audience member which practically turned the arena into a huge pride flag which was a stunning touch. Brendon noted that it was the "most flags [he'd] ever done" because he had three or four pride flags plus the Australian flag from the audience draped around himself during the song. Brendon's renditions of Dying in LA and Bohemian Rhapsody were also outstanding. His little anecdotes during the concert about Kinky Boots and his childhood gave some of the personal touch to the concert. The encore was the highlight of the night for me, with Brendon bursting back on stage after the break for Say Amen (Saturday Night), which got everyone (if possible) even more enthusiastic! Brendon was clearly enjoying the fact that it was actually Saturday night, mentioning it multiple times which was cute. The night concluded with an exceptional performance of I Write Sins Not Tragedies which sounded as fresh as it did when Brendon was 17, and finally Victorious. Unfortunately, Bren didn't take his shirt off to everyone's disappointment (including a girl behind me that kept screaming "Take your shirt off!") but overall the concert was utterly unreal and I am sure everyone that went to it is already looking forward to (and planning to attend) Brendon's inevitable next visit down under!

Panic! At The Disco: The Gospel Tour P!ATD is ever changing and ever growing with each album. No one song is like another. Despite the differences in each album, P!ATD managed to capture the original charm of each song individually, and put them together in a way that made their performance feel like one big new album. They performed their newer hits such as "Miss Jackson" and "This is Gospel", as well as hits from their first album such as "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" and "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage" and everything in between. If you go to their concert, chances are they will play your favorite songs. The band even covered the classic Queen song "Bohemian Rhapsody" in a new, exciting way that engaged audience members of all ages. Listening to them live, you find something new to love in every song they perform. Lead singer, Brendon Urie, added additional tidbits in the song that made it feel new and fresh. On top of a flawless performance, the band really engaged the crowd and asked for participation during their performance. The whole show was very high-energy, and, though you'd expect the performer's energy to dwindle as the show goes on, P!ATD was energetic from start to finish, and, if anything, got even more pumped towards the end. This Las Vegas band really know how to work a crowd. From doing backflips to taking off his shirt, Brendon Urie does everything he can to engage the audience. Most of the audience stood, danced, jumped, and sang along during the entire P!ATD performance. I, myself, stood and danced with the music, not even noticing that I couldn't feel my legs until the concert finished.Urie manages to flawlessly belt out song after song with the same energy each time, even while dancing onstage and performing stunts. On top of a fantastic performance, I found the support between P!ATD and the two opening bands (Youngblood Hawke and Walk The Moon) to be heartwarming. He thanked each band and asked for applause for each one at the beginning and end of the show. Youngblood Hawke and Walk the Moon, both stunning performances, also praised their fellow performances. Seeing the show, you never get the sense that the bands had done the same thing every other day. The high energy, inclusiveness, and emotion they put into each song makes you forget that your venue is only one stop on their months-long tour. When their next tour is announced, I will do everything in my power to get tickets. If you are into rock music and adrenaline rushes, P!ATD is for you.

I saw them 7/9/16 at Summerfest with Weezer and they were nothing short of AMAZING! Brendon Urie is the only remaining full time member, but he was more than capable of putting the show on himself. As soon as the show started with Brendon fabulously dressed in a leopard print shirt and shiny blue suit jacket clutching his gold microphone singing the first song of his set "Don't Threaten Me With a Good Time" the entire audience was on their feet, almost every Panic! fan belting out lyrics, and everyone was already having a good time. The amount of energy Brendon has onstage is insane, and he manages to keep those energy levels high throughout the entire 75 minute set, despite doing a backflip, ripping his shirt off making all the fangirls scream, having a drum battle with his touring drummer, pulling off an incredible cover of Bohemian Rhapsody, and then later doing yet another backflip. The entire time his vocals are spot on, hitting notes so high you didn't even know it was possible for humans to hit those notes, and yet having a vocal range that dips into very low notes, too. The performances of the songs are even better sounding than on the records. In between a few songs, he gave short but very meaningful speeches talking about the right to be who you want to be, getting older, a friend of his (and past Panic! drummer) who recovered from addiction, hope, dreams, and love. It's obvious the stage is home for him, and he was born to do what he does. If you're thinking about seeing Panic! At The Disco, just do it! It is nearly impossible to not have a good time. If you're a parent wondering if you should let your kid see Panic! At The Disco, also just do it! If your kid goes to school, they hear worse swear words on a daily basis than they are going to hear at a Panic! concert. Besides, any artist worth seeing probably says the f-word, everyone knows it, get over it. There are MANY worse artists that your kid could be asking to see. At his core, Brendon Urie seems like a very good guy who's struggles with being bullied in school, having anxiety and adhd, and his constant fight for people to be able to be who they really are no matter what society thinks really resonates with kids and believe it or not has saved many lives. If you get the chance to see Panic! At The Disco, do it. It will definitely be a night you will never forget.

To try to describe Panic! At the Disco's sound would be difficult, since they've changed their tune on each of their four studio releases. The pop-punk outfit has experienced line-up changes galore dating back to the early 2000's, but the most notable would be when two founding members of the band left in 2009, bassist Jon Walker and guitarist Ryan Ross (the latter of whom wrote the majority of the band's witty, memorable lyrics). Some might have thought that the departure of Ross would have a hindrance on the band's progression, but in 2011 with the release of 'Vices & Virtues', Panic! proved that as a two-piece they are just as strong (note: drummer Spencer Smith was not present at the concert mentioned due to being in rehabilitation for substance abuse, although he is still a member of the band). Lead singer Brendon Urie has a voice that ranges from low, soft croons to extreme high pitches, which he certainly showed off at The Gospel Tour on August 10, 2014 at Baltimore's Pier Six Pavilion. Urie (along with new bassist Dallon Weekes and even newer guitarist Kenneth Harris) put on an ultra-high energy performance with songs from each of their four albums getting a turn in the spotlight (however, only one song was played from the second album, 2008's 'Pretty. Odd.' - my personal favorite of the four). Mr. Urie knows the audience that he's playing for, certainly - coming out shirtless for the band's performance of 'Girls/Girls/Boys', one of the singles from their newest release, 2013's 'Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!' - and never putting it back on. He also displayed his love of classic rock in a fantastic cover of Queen's legendary hit 'Bohemian Rhapsody', and needless to say everyone in the crowd sang along. There were backflips, smoke pillars and piano solos, and the band even performed a little 'Positive Hardcore' (a nod to Urie's popular series on the video-making app Vine) before launching into their biggest hit, 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies', pretty much allowing the crowd to sing the entire song. All in all, those still trying to fit Panic! At the Disco into a category should just loosen up and come out to a show, because one thing's for sure - you WILL dance. A lot.

I recently underwent a transformation: becoming a devoted fan of Panic! At the Disco. And I must confess, I didn’t mind a bit. Despite the band’s past struggles with band members leaving, Panic!, their albums, and their shows just grow better and better. Though the band has produced music ranging from rock to pop to folk, Brendon Urie’s smooth and pleasing voice makes every last song irresistible in its own way.

Panic!’s most recent album Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, is the most danceable yet, enabling their concerts to become even more fun. It’s astonishing how much energy they display, and it’s an amazing feeling being in the midst of their audience, feeling so alive while dancing to such lyrics as “let’s get these teen hearts beating faster!” Guests Walk the Moon and Magic Man were great on their recent This is Gospel tour, but as soon as Panic! ascended the stage, the crowd’s excitement was uncontainable.

Panic!’s already fantastic music becomes magical when live. You can tell that the band has a blast performing, and they want you to have just as much fun as they are. They get the whole crowd dancing and singing along unashamedly, and the show is energizing from start to finish. They make sure to play a variety of music from all their albums, favorites old (“I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” “Nine in the Afternoon”) and new (“The Ballad of Mona Lisa”, “Nicotine”), and often cover such classics as “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Every single one of my favorite songs was played, sounding just as good if not better than their album counterparts. Brendon Urie especially carries the show. He keeps the crowd smiling with his infectious laughter and energy, executing backflips and displaying a surprisingly ability to sing some wicked high notes. Panic!’s trademark exclamation point is highly prevalent during the show, interspersed on instruments and screens alike. The Panic! At the Disco experience summed up in one word? Intoxicating. Everyone who sees them can’t help but fall in love, desperate for more. Panic! At the Disco truly is “worse than nicotine!”

Panic! At The Disco did an extremely impressive live performance! The whole thing was gripping! The light display was used very effectively, and their flashing colours cleverly portrayed the mood of each song!

The setlist was also amazing! It was great to hear most of their new tracks, in the last few days leading up to their new album!

They are all super talented as well! After watching the band through screens for so long, it was amazing to see them in real life and I loved being able to notice little quirks about each touring member and Brendon.

Dan was an amazing drummer, though he is extremely under-appreciated. Kenny was a fabulous guitarist, bringing a whole new aspect to the show. Dallon was great on the bass as well! Both Kenny and Dallon were amazing singers too! And Brendon, was just amazing! His voice is outstanding and his vocal range is unbelievable! Each song sounded unique and was so well performed! He was also great on the piano, guitar and drums! Not to mention that he also came across as a really nice guy! He was really nice to all of the fans and made us feel loved and appreciated! He also got emotional after playing Bohemian Rhapsody//Oh you pretty things. It was heart warming to see him that passionate about the recent loss of the legend that was David Bowie. It was especially amazing that the band had decided that all of the money from the merch sales that night would go to Cancer Research.

The opening act, Charley Marley, were also really fun and brought an extremely positive vibe to the venue!

The general atmosphere was amazing and it was great to talk to some of the people around us, who shared my passion in music and my love of this band!

I would highly recommend seeing this band if they come near you! It was an unforgettable experience that I can't wait to repeat sometime!

The concert that was held last October 20,2018 in Mall Of Asia Arena, Manila was one of the best experiences of my life. As this was my very first concert i am beyond grateful that i was able to see Panic! Live. Panic! At The Disco's frontman Brendon Urie serves as one my idols and inspirations because he really has that charm, the pure heart,the helping hand, and the supportive and loving energy. I'm glad that he played songs which really meant a lot to me and to others who love him and his bandmates very much. When he said that he loves and appreciates all of us, it made me feel very happy and of course valued. The song Girls/Girls/Boys really means a lot to me since as a closeted Bisexual i felt like this song could be my coming out anthem. As a teenager, i suffer from mainly mental health problems and i would often listen to Panic! Songs to maybe lessen the sadness inside of me and it helps me to cope with my struggles everyday. Every song and every lyric that panic! Has placed really means a lot since the impact that they bring is so powerful. Sins was actually the song that started my whole love for this band. I'm really thankful for such a wonderful person that he is, i hope that there would be more concerts to come in the future. Oh and Whenever he sang those high notes I couldn't believe it, he was literally an angel. In conclusion it felt so surreal when he was singing like i was watching the music videos and the live performances that i never knew i would sing to in a venue wherein fans would be free to jam and be free. I feel like when it was all over reality was back again, but i know for a fact that i was lucky to hear my one of my favorite bands play live before my eyes. Oh and seeing my fellow Sinners made me realize that panic! fans are really very supportive and are as one loving family.

If you are going to panic at the disco and do not have much experiences with mosh pits, definitely don't go in to the panic mosh pit.

It is a very crazy environment, everyone is pushing you around most of the time and you are drenched in your sweat and other peoples sweat. My friends leg almost got snapped because of all the pushing, she also got taken out because of this. I got taken out of the pit because i started having a panic attack. Many other people at the barrier got taken out because they were getting seriously injured, because people were pushing so much. This was all during the opening act and in the time before panic came on. After I calmed down a bit I sat down on the seats at the side as it was not reserved seating, After I sat down I was a bit salty for a bit, because i waited 7 hours in line to get near the front, so I didn't really enjoy the first 2 or so songs of panic but after that I finally started having fun. Other people I know did have lots of fun in the pit as they were in different areas. At a panic concert the amount of fun you have in the pit really depends on what kind of people you have around you. I personally didn't have too much fun because the people around me were really pushy and rude. But don't let this stop you from going in the pit if that is what you really want to do. This is my experience and it is not going to be the same as everyone else's. I personally will probably never standing in a big arena again and will only stand in small ones. One other bad thing was they didn't stock enough merch for everyone so a lot of people missed out including me. So if you really want merch you'll probably to get that before you go into the pit or your seats. Overall I did have a really good time and it will be a good story to tell in the future. :)

By far Brendon Urie's AKA Panic! At the Disco's performance has continuously impressed me. This is my second time seeing him live, and he didn't cease to surprise and breach beyond even my highest expectations. He is a man that understands that every person on Earth impacts it, if that's positive or not. He cares for each and every one of his fans and makes sure that they all feel special. He walks through the crowd, hugging fans and singing. He makes connections. Of course, I don't want to bias due to the seats I got gave me an even more fantastic experience. I have experienced "bad" seats in concerts where you are left neglected. Unlike other performers that could care less about how everyone else feels Brendon made sure to acknowledge even the nose bleed seats as he moved across the arena on the moving piano while singing "Dying In LA." I recommend this concert to pretty much anyone. The fanbase/crowd is very kind, and you know you are safe to talk to any of them. Especially in the line to get merch.

The only minor complaint I have was that there were only two small booths and one first booth that was selling the T-shirts, jackets, etc. There where lines all the way around the arena. Luckily family went out during the concert to get me a t-shirt, but people were waiting there for throughout both openers and even during parts of the show itself. Otherwise, the staff was very kind and made sure it was safe outside the stadium — there where no delays or mishaps that I experienced.

I can't wait until Panic! At the Disco's next tour. I will be there. Until next time, your fellow concert goer, Ava.

Panic! at the Disco Just Played Their Final Show + Brendon Urie Shares Heartfelt Message to Fans

This past Friday (March 10),  Panic! at the Disco  played their final show (at the  AO Arena  in Manchester, England). Understandably, it was an emotional event not only for attendees but for founding vocalist Brendon Urie , as he shared a very heartfelt message to fans on social media yesterday morning (March 11).

Back in January, Loudwire reported on Urie’s announcement that the band would be ending nearly 20 years after it started. Urie stated that “sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin. . . . That said, I am going to bring this chapter of my life to an end and put my focus and energy on my family, and with that Panic! At The Disco will be no more.”

Part of the reason was that he and his wife, Sarah, were about to welcome their first child .

Thus, the group’s tour in support of 2022’s Viva Las Vengeance would be their last, with their show at the AO Arena being their final performance ever. Unsurprisingly, they gave concertgoers one hell of an in-depth show, performing over two dozen songs (including the entire new album and classics such as “Nine in the Afternoon” and “I Write Sins Not Tragedies”).

The following day, Urie reflected on his time with Panic! at the Disco via social media, writing:

I'm overcome with gratitude. I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. For the last 18 years, it's truly been an experience that I’ll always be grateful for. So if you've been with us for 18 years, thank you very much. And if you've just joined us, welcome and….farewell. Either way, I love you very much, and I just can't say thank you enough. Let's live every day like it's our last, babyyyyy!

Expectedly, his posts were instantly met with equally sincere replies.

For instance, one Twitter user wrote : “You came into my life when I was 17. I just lost my dad. Since then I lost my mom and grandmother. But you were the reason I kept going. I’m so sad it’s over but I’m so grateful for all the beautiful memories.” Likewise, a fan on Instagram cheered: “Thanks for everything p!atd. And thanks for all the time you spend with us Brendon.”

Cheez-Its, M&Ms and absolutely no Sam's Club lasagna: What Indiana State Fair acts requested

It was a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer — not a movie star — who took home the biggest paycheck of the acts that performed at the Indiana State Fair's Hoosier Lottery Free Stage this year.

Buddy Guy, an octogenarian blues legend, was paid $130,000 to perform this year, according to his contract with the State Fair, but payment isn't all he requested. He also asked his dressing room be stocked with freshly squeezed orange juice (with pulp!), local hot sauce and Stewart's black cherry soda.

Since the Indiana State Fair Commission is a public agency, contracts with the performers were made available to IndyStar via public records request. We sifted through these documents to find information regarding each act's compensation as well as their backstage requests, also known as riders. Requests included standard fare — specific types of M&Ms or towels in only certain colors — as well as some quirkier asks.

While some of the acts request alcohol on their riders, that's the one thing the State Fair Commission will not provide to anyone (they still ask, though).

Here's how much each act was paid and some of what they requested for their dressing rooms.
