PANIC! AT THE DISCO
VIVA LAS VENGEANCE TOUR | T-MOBILE ARENA | LAS VEGAS, NV

“In the land of the brave, home of the freaks,” Panic! at the Disco is still at the top of their game. Currently on their Viva Las Vengeance tour supporting their seventh studio album, we were in for quite a show. The setlist was a mix with a set of six songs from previous albums to hype the crowd up, followed by debuting Viva Las Vengeance in full, then seven older songs to wrap the show up. I enjoyed hearing the new songs live for the first time, my favorite being “Middle of a Breakup.” Despite this album only being two months old, fans still new every word. Other favorites from the setlist were “This is Gospel”, “High Hopes”, and “Girls/Girls/Boys.” The production of this concert was top notch - we had pyro, lasers, confetti, and incredible visuals to amplify the show. The stage was a rounded catwalk that surrounded the pit (only about 100 people), so it helped to create a more intimate vibe as the band circled the pit. I’ve seen Panic! at the Disco many times before, but tonight felt extra special. Brendon kept stopping the lyrics to look around the room, shake his head, and have an infectious smile. He kept saying that he couldn’t believe 10+ years later that fans still knew every lyric and were singing back louder than ever. Overall, an incredible show and so much passion felt throughout the arena. I highly recommend checking out Panic! at the Disco live.
