Ten years ago you never could have convinced me that Widespread Panic would be the biggest ticket seller in that little jam corner of the live music scene. But sure enough, this summer WSP will be the only jamband headlining amphitheater and theater shows by themselves across the country. God bless the power of large beers, Jimmy Herring, dancing like a chicken and good ol’ Southern Rock.
The lengthy 26-show excursion starts with appearances at Wakarusa and Bonnaroo before hitting old standbys like Radio City Music Hall, the Chicago Theatre, Red Rocks, and The Backyard. I’m most excited about Widespread’s first appearance at the beautiful Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the site of the original Woodstock. Ace and I are huge fans of that gorgeous venue, and I can’t think of a better place to see Panic. The tour dates follow below:
