The album Viva Las Vengeance, marks the first new music from Panic! At The Disco since the 2018 release of their No. 1 album Pray For The Wicked.
Dropping August 19, the album delivers a change in process for frontman-songwriter Brendon Urie who cut everything live to tape in Los Angeles. The cinematic musical journey represents the fine line between taking advantage of your youth, seizing the day and burning out.
The songs take an introspective look into Urie’s relationship with his decade plus career including growing up in Las Vegas, love, and fame.

“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 realize I was making an album and there was something about the tape machine that kept me honest,” Urie says of his upcoming project.
