Georgia rock band Widespread Panic has announced its return to The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas with three back-to-back performances this spring. The group takes the stage Friday, May 8, through Sunday, May 10, and tickets go on sale Friday, Jan. 9, at 10 a.m. PT on AXS.com. 

The original lineup formed in 1986, and Widespread Panic is still hungry to be the best band they can be for their loyal fan base. The band has released 14 studio albums (including “Hailbound Queen” and Snake Oil King” in 2024) and 52 live albums, selling more than 3 million copies.

The group has broken attendance records at U.S. venues, including a staggering 75 sold-out shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Co. Widespread Panic has performed more than a dozen shows in Las Vegas since 2011, including 10 shows at The Joint, now known as The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

Since 2022, the group has returned to present six performances at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas over two three-night engagements, proving that the Las Vegas stage continues to be a draw for fans and the seasoned rock band. 

Widespread Panic was formed by original members John “J.B.” Bell (vocals/guitar), Dave Schools (bass) and the late Michael Houser (guitar), who lived together in a house in Athens, where they met as students not far from the University of Georgia, and were later joined by drummer Todd Nance.

The line-up was solidified with the addition of percussionist Domingo “Sunny” Ortiz, keyboard player John “JoJo” Hermann, guitarist Jimmy Herring and Duane Trucks on drums.
