After a couple of weeks of teasing, Panic! At The Disco have launched a massive comeback with new single and album, Viva Las Vengeance.

The follow-up to 2018's Pray For The Wicked is due out on August 19 via Fueled By Ramen / DCD2, with the lead single and title-track out today (June 1) alongside a video from High Hopes director Brendan Walter – watch it below.

Speaking about the new LP as a whole, Brendon reveals that, “Viva Las Vengeance is a look back at who I was 17 years ago and who I am now with the fondness I didn't have before. I didn’t realise I was making an album and there was something about the tape machine that kept me honest.”

Indeed, as the singer says, Vengeance was recorded live to tape at a studio in Los Angeles with production partners Jake Sinclair and Mike Viola – a huge change in process to the way Brendon has previously worked.

Of course, alongside the album announcement is the Viva Las Vengeance tour, which will be hitting the UK in 2023 (and the U.S. and Canada this year) – keep scrolling for more on that.
