Widespread Panic was founded in 1985 in Athens, Georgia as part of the "college rock" trend that included bands like the
ever-popular REM. Over the next few years, their live shows - which were almost exclusively held in Georgia - began to spread
like wildfire all over the South and the band's growing popularity led to their first album release in 1988. Nearly 20 albums
and almost three decades later, Widespread Panic is still going strong! Hurry and get your tickets today through StubHub.
They don't hold the record of sold-out performances at Red Rocks in Colorado and Philips Arena in Atlanta for nothing! Check
StubHub out today!
There is no doubt that Widespread Panic is a crowd-pleaser. In 1998, the band reveled in the release of their first live
album, Light Fuse, Get Away, with a free CD release party concert in Athens, Georgia. It is believed that approximately 80,000
- 100,000 fans attended, commemorating the event as one of history's largest CD release parties. Legions of fans also descended
on the Bonnaroo Music Festival in 2002 when Widespread Panic played two nights. It was another event that attracted over 70,000
people. And on June 27, 2008, Widespread Panic sold out their 32nd show at Red Rocks Amphitheater - more than any other band
recorded in the venue's history. The day was declared Widespread Panic Day in the City and County of Denver. Show after show,
