Panic! At the Disco bring their 2011 VICES & VIRTUES Tour to South Florida!

Rock band Panic! At the Disco are currently headlining their 2011 U.S. tour which kicked-off earlier this month.

The tour is in support of the band's third album: "Vices & Virtues", which dropped on Tuesday March 22, 2011 on Decaydance/Fueled by Ramen. It is the band's first full-fledged tour in support of their new album.


The band climbed onboard the old tour bus on May 20 in Philadelphia when it appeared at WRFF Radio 104.5's fourth birthday show. The actual tour began on May 22 in Boston at House of Blues and includes tonight's gig (May 24) at NYC's Terminal 5; May 27 in Atlanta at The Tabernacle; June 2 in Norfolk at the NorVA and June 5 at Toronto's Sound Academy.

"Vices & Virtues" marks Panic! At the Disco's first album since Ryan Ross and Jon Walker split from current band members Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith in 2009. There has been heavy promotion behind the new album, including a high-end music video for their first single "The Ballad of Mona Lisa," and a mini movie which features snippets from four songs off the upcoming new album. Both of the videos are riddled with innuendos towards the "old" Panic! At the Disco and Ryan Ross/Jon Walker's departure.

Joining the band on this summer tour are label mates Fun. Foxy Shazam appears May 22-June 7 and Funeral Party joins the tour June 9-29.

Panic! At the Disco will be at the Pompano Beach Amphitheatre in Pompano Beach, Florida on Sunday May 29, 2011.
