Ultimate Ears is sponsoring an exclusive secret show with Panic! At The Disco on December 8th somewhere in Texas. Visit the band’s Facebook page to sign up to win one of 20 pairs of tickets they are giving away to the event.

Local music promoter Chris Ricci says pop-rock band Panic! At the Disco will not play a makeup show, despite plans to do so after cancelling at the last minute and missing a planned headlining performance at this summer’s X-Fest in downtown Modesto.

“As soon as Chris Ricci Presents received the unexpected news of the last-minute cancellation … we also began discussions with the band’s management on how to make good on their commitment to play for Central Valley fans at X-Fest. They indicated they would,” Ricci wrote in a press release. “Two months later, after successfully negotiating with California State University, Stanislaus, to use Warrior Arena for a Panic! At the Disco replay concert on Nov. 13, Chris Ricci Presents made a substantial offer to the band’s agent. Unfortunately, it now appears that the agent will not be able to accept this offer and Panic! At the Disco’s performance in the Central Valley will not be rescheduled.”

Panic! At the Disco canceled its Modesto appearance hours before the Aug. 6 event due to a family emergency. Ricci said at the time that the father of drummer Spencer Smith was gravely ill.

Local favorite Flying Blind, which played many of the early X-Fests and had recently re-formed, stepped in to fill Panic! At the Disco’s spot.

“Receiving a band cancellation mere hours before the event is frustrating,” Ricci said in the press release, “and it is more frustrating when the band is unable to fulfill their obligation to the fans.”

Brendon Urie, vocalist of Panic! At The Disco, was unable to perform with the band on Saturday in Salt Lake City, Utah due to having a fever of 102, and potentially becoming ill with malaria (tests for malaria later came back negative).

Instead of cancelling the show, the band decided to gather guest vocalists to help perform a full set. Dallon Weekes (the band’s live bassist), Tyler Glenn of Neon Trees, Ransom of King Niko, and Ash of Exit Strategy all helped the band perform.

Let’s Kill Tonight (Vocals by Dallon Weekes)

From Facebook…

24 hours ago we found ourselves in a very peculiar situation. I woke up in Utah planning on headlining the X96 Big Ass Show later that night, but then received the news from Brendon that his doctors wouldn’t let him fly because he could potentially have caught malaria during our recent trip to Indonesia. Brendon broke his ankle in the middle of a show on our last US tour, and proceeded to just take off his shoe and finish the set with a softball in his ankle. He also played every show after that with the broken ankle. Hopefully that speaks to the seriousness of his illness over the last few days.

Our initial knee jerk reaction was that we would have to cancel. There’s just no way around it. Although Brendon is only 1 of 4 people on stage during our set, he is, for most, including myself, the indisputable focal point of the show. But then we started thinking…. is there anything else we could do? Acoustic versions? Some sort of fan karaoke? The three of us were already there, our gear was all set up, and there were a lot of our fans waiting for gates to open, unaware of the current predicament we had found ourselves in. So, we decided, rather than cancel the show entirely, we would instead enlist any and all help we could find from friends to fans, and put together the most entertaining set we could come up within the few hours we had before we went on. We were aware that it wasn’t going to come across in anyway as polished or precise, but that wasn’t the point. The point was to have as much fun as possible, and to make the most of the very uneasy position we were in. And it was fun! Thank you to everyone who stuck around to watch us. If anything I hope it was memorable. It was for us. Like I posted on Twitter last night…. All credit goes to those who filled in on vocals, this wouldn’t have been possible without you.

P.S. Good news: the test results came back negative for malaria last night, so Brendon will be joining us tonight for our show in Reno!

P.P.S Stay tuned for another post about the US tour and a cool way that you can be part of it!

Brendon is sick and can’t perform at the X96 Big Ass Show in Salt Lake City tonight, instead of cancelling the show they are looking for fans that can sing to fill in for Brendon.

Brendon’s Twitter

I’ve got a temperature of 103. And, no, I’m not quoting that one song. #hotblooded

Malaria?! F’reals?! What is this… Oregon Trail?

Update:

From Facebook…

We just got word Brendon has 102 degree fever right now, and isn’t going to be able to perform tonight in Salt Lake City. We still want to figure out how to play the show, so we’re enlisting some special guests to help out, including….. you? That’s right, one night only get ready for some Panic! karaoke! We’re trying to figure out exactly how it’s going to work, but it’s gonna be fun. Keep your eyes peeled to the @PanicattheDisco twitter account for more info. This should be interesting..

There have been rumours about a change in venue and audience restrictions for the Perth leg of the Soundwave Counter Revolution tour, but now the festival’s promoter AJ Maddah has confirmed that changes are real.

Last night the Perth streetpress paper posted a comment on their Facebook page to announce that “According to ads in tomorrow’s X-Press Magazine, Counter Revolution is now taking place at Amplifier and Capitol; while Every Time I Die, The Acacia Strain and The Word Alive takes place at the Civic Hotel. Both shows are on Monday, October 3.The fine print says it is now an 18+ show”

This set off a flood of worries from under-aged fans concerned that they wound no longer be able to attend the show and see Panic! At The Disco, All Time Low, Yellowcard, Story Of The Year and the rest of the lineup.

Sadly, Maddah has now confirmed the news via Twitter announcing that “Yes. It’s true. The problem is that not enough under 18 kids have bought tickets to make an all ages show feasible. And of course if you have a ticket and can’t attend you can have a refund. Sydney & Melbourne are selling out; Brisbane is great while Perth is awful”. Read the full article »

The good news is that Panic! at the Disco will head across the pond in the New Year!

Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith will return with current touring members Ian Crawford (The Cab) and Dallon Weeks (The Brobecks), who as a group seem to show no current signs of slowing down.
