Panic! At The Disco

18 years after debuting with the emo-drive of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, Brendan Urie announced that Panic! At The Disco were hanging up their spangly blazers permanently. While he moves on to enjoy the early stages of parenthood, he is treating his fans worldwide to one last hurrah with the Viva Las Vengeance tour. Celebrating Panic!'s 7th studio album (Urie's third solo under the alias of his former band) and their heralded back catalogue, the show pulls in to Birmingham ahead of their final ever shows on London and Manchester.

Before Urie and his touring mates take to the stage, former Lakoda Rayne member FLETCHER takes centre stage. Having received huge hype for her debut album, Girl of my Dreams, upon its release last year, FLETCHER easily proves that she has the vocal prowess to match the record reviews. While there are clear set highlights - Becky's So Hot and Better Version - it is equally apparent that a solo star has been born. Playing to a packed arena, she has the audience swaying and singing along.

While FLETCHER stole hearts, the arrival of Panic! At The Disco to the stage sent temperatures soaring to euphoric levels. With a voice that is easily one of the finest and most versatile in the industry and looks poster boy good looks, it is in his humility as a performer that really shines through during their spectacular set.

With the versatility of Urie's vocal and diversity of Panic!'s back catalogue, this is a show that never loses momentum and has the audience giddy with glee.

With truly spectacular lighting accentuating each song, the staging shows that simplicity of setting can really highlight the star of the show. From Say Amen (Saturday Night) to Middle of a Breakup to House of Memories, the audience sing and dance with delight as Urie and friends respond by raising their game with each song.

Closing with the always epic High Hopes, the audience leave blown away but hoping that Panic! aren't really going away.
