Panic! at the Disco was an American pop rock ensemble established in 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada, by high school acquaintances Ryan Ross (guitar) and Spencer Smith (drums). They subsequently enlisted fellow students Brendon Urie (vocals and guitar) and Brent Wilson (bass). Following multiple lineup alterations, Panic! at the Disco evolved into a solo endeavor led by Urie from 2015 until its conclusion in 2023.
Their initial demos were produced during their high school years, culminating in the release of their debut album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005). Fueled by the hit single "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", which received diamond status in the United States, the album earned quadruple platinum certification. In 2006, Wilson was dismissed amid a global tour and was succeeded by Jon Walker. The band's sophomore album, Pretty. Odd. (2008), featuring the lead single "Nine in the Afternoon", represented a notable change in musical direction. Ross and Walker departed to establish the Young Veins, leaving Urie and Smith as the core members.
Operating as a duo, Urie and Smith contributed "New Perspective" to the soundtrack of Jennifer's Body (2009), while touring with added musicians bassist Dallon Weekes and guitarist Ian Crawford. Weekes officially joined as a full-time member in 2010. The third studio album, Vices & Virtues (2011), was recorded by Urie and Smith alongside producers John Feldmann and Butch Walker. Crawford exited following the conclusion of touring in 2012. The trio consisting of Urie, Smith, and Weekes released their fourth album, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, in 2013. Prior to its launch, Smith informally withdrew due to health concerns; Urie and Weekes continued with touring musicians Kenneth Harris and Dan Pawlovich.
Smith's official departure came in 2015; Weekes reverted to touring status, transforming Panic! into Urie's solo project. In January 2016, the fifth album Death of a Bachelor was issued. Weekes formally left in December 2017; Nicole Row joined as part of the touring ensemble. The sixth album, Pray for the Wicked (2018), included their highest-charting track "High Hopes". Their seventh studio release, Viva Las Vengeance, arrived on August 19, 2022. After completing its supporting tour in March 2023, Urie disbanded Panic! at the Disco.
2004–2005: Beginnings as a rock group and formative period
In 2004, Panic! at the Disco was founded in suburban Summerlin, Las Vegas, by high school friends Ryan Ross (guitar) and Spencer Smith (drums). Both attended Bishop Gorman High School, where they began collaborating musically during ninth grade. They brought on bassist Brent Wilson from nearby Palo Verde High School, who then invited fellow student Brendon Urie to join their ranks. The four rehearsed together in Smith's grandmother’s living room. Initially, Ross served as lead vocalist; however, after hearing Urie's voice, the band appointed him as frontman. Originally functioning as a Blink-182 tribute band, they derived their name from a lyric in "Panic" by Name Taken.
Seeking a sound distinct from Las Vegas' dominant heavier music scene, they secured a recording contract prior to performing live shows. To support practice space rent, Urie worked at Tropical Smoothie Cafe, also singing for tips—a sign of early promise. All members ultimately left formal education to pursue music full-time; Ross withdrew from college following familial disputes, while Urie was expelled from his home after finishing high school.
Ross and Urie submitted a demo tape to Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, who responded positively and signed them to his imprint label Decaydance Records, affiliated with Fueled by Ramen, late in 2004—making Panic! the label’s inaugural act. Despite lacking live performances at that point, Wentz actively promoted them by wearing "Pete! at the Disco" shirts and referencing them during interviews. At signing time, all members were still enrolled in high school except Ross, who had left UNLV. Urie graduated in May 2005; Wilson and Smith completed their studies through online programs as the band relocated to College Park, Maryland to record their debut album.
2005–2007: A Fever You Can't Sweat Out
During the summer of 2005, the group moved to College Park, Maryland, to work on their first album. They arrived with only partial songs and completed the project through intense sessions, often putting in 12 to 14 hours daily. Ross later described the pressure of finishing the album while sharing cramped living spaces with other band members.
The record is split into two distinct sections: the first half showcases electronic dance punk elements, whereas the latter half incorporates Vaudeville-inspired piano, strings, and accordion, drawing inspiration from film composers like Danny Elfman and Jon Brion. Upon completing the recordings, the band had just two weeks to prepare for live shows, debuting locally in summer 2005 before embarking on a national tour as part of the Nintendo Fusion Tour alongside mentors such as Fall Out Boy.
Released on September 27, 2005, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out entered the Billboard 200 chart at number 112, reached number six on Independent Albums, and topped the Top Heatseekers list, selling nearly 10,000 copies during its initial week. The hit single "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" propelled sales beyond 500,000 within a few months. By August 2006, the album earned platinum certification from the RIAA, and its music video received Video of the Year honors at the MTV Video Music Awards. Ross acknowledged that despite some difficulties, their swift rise created substantial opportunities.
On May 17, 2006, original bassist Brent Wilson departed under ambiguous circumstances and was succeeded by Jon Walker. Wilson later stated he was dismissed via telephone; meanwhile, the band attributed his exit to a lack of responsibility and insufficient musical development. Urie performed all bass tracks on the debut album. Wilson pursued royalties and threatened legal proceedings.
In early 2006, Panic! opened for the Academy Is... during their international tour before launching their own headlining tour across the U.S. from June through August. At the 2006 Reading Festival, despite being struck by bottles—including one that rendered Urie unconscious—the band persisted with their performance. Their second headline tour, Nothing Rhymes with Circus, began in November and featured theatrical live acts with choreographed dance routines and skits performed by a six-member troupe dressed in elaborate costumes reflecting song themes.
Reviewers highlighted the band's rapid ascent and dramatic style; MTV News likened their approach to Janet Jackson's Velvet Rope Tour. After extensive touring following A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, the group paused in late 2006 to start developing concepts for their next album.
2007–2009: Pretty. Odd.
In March 2007, writing commenced on a new album initially named Cricket & Clover at a cabin located in Mount Charleston, Nevada. After debuting new songs live and returning to their rehearsal space in Las Vegas, most of this material was discarded by August in favor of a more straightforward acoustic songwriting style. This change led to recording sessions beginning in October at Studio at the Palms in Las Vegas for what would become Pretty. Odd.
By January 2008, the band officially shortened their name to Panic at the Disco, removing the exclamation mark. Released on March 21, 2008, Pretty. Odd. represented a stylistic shift from their debut towards a more organic sound influenced heavily by The Beatles. The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 139,000 copies—exceeding their previous records—and secured gold certification in the United Kingdom. Although critics praised its artistic growth compared to mixed reviews for their debut, sales were modest relative to their initial release.
The band headlined the Honda Civic Tour from April to July 2008 alongside Motion City Soundtrack, The Hush Sound, and Phantom Planet; this was followed by a fall tour featuring Dashboard Confessional and The Cab promoting Rock Band 2.
Touring for Pretty. Odd. marked a notable departure from earlier theatrical circus-themed performances toward more intimate shows with naturalistic staging and simpler costumes. Ryan Ross emphasized fostering more genuine connections with audiences during these live events. In December 2008, a live album and DVD titled ...Live in Chicago, documenting performances from the Honda Civic Tour along with behind-the-scenes footage, was released.
Environmental consciousness was integrated into this tour through collaborations with Reverb and Global Inheritance. The band utilized biodiesel-powered transportation, implemented backstage recycling programs, employed eco-friendly materials for tour booklets, and donated proceeds to environmental organizations.
2009–2015: Lineup shifts, Vices & Virtues, and Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!
In the spring of 2009, the group commenced work on their third studio album. However, on July 6, 2009, Ryan Ross and Jon Walker announced through the band's official website that they were departing. Ross attributed their exit to creative disagreements: while Urie leaned toward a refined pop sound, Ross and Walker favored a vintage rock style. Subsequently, they established The Young Veins, releasing one album titled Take a Vacation!.
Despite these changes, the band confirmed plans to tour with Blink-182 in August 2009 and stated that production of the new album would proceed as intended. The first track released without Ross and Walker, "New Perspective," premiered on radio in August 2009 and was included on the Jennifer's Body soundtrack. The band also reinstated the exclamation mark in their name. "New Perspective" officially came out on July 28, 2009. To support the Blink-182 tour, Ian Crawford (formerly of The Cab) and Dallon Weekes (from The Brobecks) joined the lineup.
Early in 2010, the band recorded their third album as a trio consisting of Urie, Smith, and Weekes; although Weekes helped conceptualize the album artwork, he did not perform on the record. On January 18, 2011, it was announced that Vices & Virtues would be released on March 22, with production handled by Butch Walker and John Feldmann. The lead single "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" was released on February 1, 2011, followed by its music video on February 8. The album garnered favorable reviews from critics.
The Vices & Virtues Tour kicked off in February 2011, continuing to showcase the band's distinctive theatrical style. Urie expressed enthusiasm for incorporating elaborate stage elements such as Tesla coils. The band was scheduled to perform at Australia's Soundwave Revolution festival later that year; after its cancellation, they took part in its replacement event, Counter-Revolution.
On May 12, 2011, Panic! at the Disco teamed up with indie pop group Fun., releasing a collaborative single titled "C'mon" and embarking on a joint tour. Additionally, they contributed the track "Mercenary" to the soundtrack of the video game Batman: Arkham City.
Following the conclusion of the Vices & Virtues tour, Urie, Smith, and Weekes began work on their fourth album. In 2012, touring guitarist Ian Crawford departed to pursue music he described as more "real" and "genuine." On July 15, 2013, the band announced their new album titled Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, set for release on October 8. The lead single "Miss Jackson" was unveiled alongside an accompanying music video. During this period, Panic! at the Disco supported Fall Out Boy on their Save Rock And Roll Arena Tour.
Shortly before starting the album's tour cycle, drummer Spencer Smith disclosed his battle with substance abuse issues and chose to leave the tour early to focus on recovery. Dan Pawlovich from Valencia stepped in as his replacement during this time.
In an interview dated September 23, 2014, Urie shared initial concepts for a fifth studio album but remained uncertain whether it would be released under Panic! at the Disco or as a solo project. He also confirmed there were no plans for Smith's return to the band.
2015–2019: Shift to a Solo Endeavor, Death of a Bachelor and Pray for the Wicked
Brendon Urie became the sole member after Spencer Smith officially departed from the group on April 2, 2015. Later that month, Urie disclosed that he was developing new songs for the band's fifth studio album.
On April 20, 2015, Urie unexpectedly released the single "Hallelujah," which entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 40, marking the band's second highest entry after "I Write Sins Not Tragedies." The band appeared live at the KROQ Weenie Roast on May 16, 2015. The title track "Death of a Bachelor" premiered on Apple Music on September 1, 2015, followed by the release of the second single, "Victorious," later that month. On October 22, Urie announced that the album Death of a Bachelor would be released on January 15, 2016. During this time, Dallon Weekes was reassigned to touring musician duties. The third single, "Emperor's New Clothes," was launched alongside its music video simultaneously. Subsequently, "LA Devotee" was issued as a promotional single on November 26. The track "Don't Threaten Me with a Good Time" was unveiled on December 31, 2015.
Between June and August 2016, Panic! at the Disco co-headlined the Weezer & Panic! at the Disco Summer Tour. In August of the same year, they recorded a cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" for the soundtrack of Suicide Squad.
The music video for "LA Devotee" was released on September 22, 2016, coinciding with the announcement of the Death of a Bachelor Tour scheduled for 2017, featuring MisterWives and Saint Motel as opening acts. Urie expressed plans to produce videos for each song on the album.
The live album All My Friends We're Glorious: Death of a Bachelor Tour Live became available on December 15, 2017, offered as a limited edition double vinyl and digital download. Five days afterward, the non-album Christmas single "Feels Like Christmas" was released. On December 27, bassist Dallon Weekes departed after eight years to concentrate on his project I Dont Know How but They Found Me. Nicole Row joined as touring bassist in March 2018.
On March 21, 2018, Panic! at the Disco simultaneously released two singles—"Say Amen (Saturday Night)" and "(Fuck A) Silver Lining"—while announcing their upcoming album Pray for the Wicked along with an accompanying tour.
The band performed in Las Vegas on June 7, 2018, prior to Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals—a notable hometown appearance. They also headlined both Reading and Leeds Festivals in August. On August 27, they premiered the music video for "High Hopes," which by autumn climbed to number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart—their highest peak to date.
On September 22, 2018, longtime touring guitarist Kenneth Harris was dismissed following allegations of sexual misconduct; Mike Naran took over guitar duties in October.
In 2019, Panic!'s version of "Into the Unknown" was featured alongside Idina Menzel's rendition during the end credits of Frozen II.
2019–2023: Viva Las Vengeance Era and Band's Conclusion
In May 2019, Brendon Urie revealed that Panic! at the Disco was developing a new album, sharing that initial concepts were underway though no release date had been set. On May 14, 2022, the band unveiled a website hinting at upcoming music. Shortly after, on May 29, they announced the single "Viva Las Vengeance" would be available starting June 1, marking the arrival of new material.
Their seventh studio album, also named Viva Las Vengeance, was released on August 19, 2022, coinciding with a tour in the fall. Leading up to the album launch, singles dropped in succession: "Middle Of A Breakup" on July 20, "Local God" on August 5, and "Don't Let the Light Go Out" on August 16. On the same day as the album release, a music video for "Sad Clown" premiered. In December 2022, the Chicago performance from the Viva Las Vengeance Tour was streamed online under the title Everybody Needs a Place to Go: An Evening with Panic! at the Disco. Moreover, their 2016 song "House of Memories" saw a re-release featuring alternate versions after gaining renewed popularity on TikTok.
On January 24, 2023, Urie announced that Panic! at the Disco would conclude following the final Viva Las Vengeance Tour date on March 10 in Manchester. He explained this decision was motivated by his desire to prioritize family life as he and his wife were expecting their first child.
Activities Following Disbandment
In 2025, Panic! briefly reunited to headline the When We Were Young festival on October 18 and 19. During these performances, they played their debut album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out in its entirety. On both evenings, former drummer Spencer Smith made a guest appearance on stage for a short rendition of "I Write Sins Not Tragedies". The day after these shows, a deluxe edition commemorating the 20th anniversary of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out was announced. Additionally, their 2006 live album Live in Denver was made available on vinyl and streaming platforms for the first time.
Musical style and influences
Panic! at the Disco's musical approach incorporates elements from genres such as pop rock, pop, baroque pop, electropop, alternative rock, emo pop, pop-punk, dance-punk, emo, dance-pop, and synth-pop.
Brendon Urie has acknowledged inspirations from artists including Frank Sinatra, Queen, David Bowie, Tom DeLonge, Weezer, Green Day, and My Chemical Romance.
