Panic! At The Disco have shared an exciting teaser video ahead of their return to the stage at this weekend’s When We Were Young.

Honouring their iconic debut album A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out by performing it in full (and more!) in Las Vegas on October 18 – 19, these will be their first shows since 2023. “Las Vegas!!” reads the caption. “Your curtain call is here, and it’s finally time to dance. See you this weekend at @whenwewereyoungfest.”

In the accompanying video, there’s new footage of Brendon Urie rehearsing Intermission, playing it on the piano from P!ATD’s 2006 live album Live In Denver. There’s also all sorts of clips of the frontman from throughout the years – which fans believe rules out the likes of early members Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith and Jon Walker coming back to the band for these gigs.

Watch the video below:

Brendon hit the stage for the first time in nearly two years back in February, for the I Love LA Eaton fire relief concert. Panic! haven’t played live since March 10, 2023, when they performed at Manchester’s AO Arena on the final night of the Viva Las Vengeance tour. Two months before that, the singer announced that he was 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.

“Thank you all for your immense support over the years,” Brendon said. “I’ve sat here trying to come up with the perfect way to say this and I truly can’t put into words how much it has meant to us. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or are just finding us, it has been a pleasure to not only share the stage with so many talented people but also share our time with you.”
