“Oh how it’s been so long
We’re so sorry we’ve been gone
We were busy writing songs for you”
Panic At The Disco - ‘We’re So Starving’

In news that will whip music fans into a frenzy, The Frontier Touring Company is thrilled to confirm the return of Las Vegas rockers Panic At The Disco to New Zealand shores this August. The Academy Is . . . will join Panic At The Disco as support on all dates.

The last tour left fans thrilled and wanting more, while critics raved about the band’s dynamic performances. Recent sold out shows across Europe have produced similar responses. Manchester Evening News left their local show impressed, announcing Panic At The Disco a “must see live act this year for fans of unconventional rock,” while The Guardian were floored, awarding a recent performance four stars.

Panic At The Disco return to New Zealand in support of their sophomore album, Pretty. Odd. (released March 29 through Warner Music). Pretty. Odd. signals a change for Panic At The Disco. The mammoth success of their debut album A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out – an album written by the band when they were just 17 – could have easily seen Panic At The Disco produce a near identical product and satisfied fans. Instead, the band chose to explore their horizons as they diversify musically, proving beyond doubt that Panic At The Disco are not a passing trend or a one-album wonder. Panic At The Disco are here to save the future of music. And they will.

Rolling Stone were impressed with the Pretty. Odd. offering: “Even when it's over the top, which is basically always, Pretty. Odd. sounds cheerful, with a broad sense of humor that does honor to the noble legacy of ELO mastermind Jeff Lynne.”

Pretty. Odd. struck a chord with AbsolutePunk.net: “The new album has shaken everything up, with lovers possibly forsaking the band for ditching its synth/dance/pop sound, while the haters may enjoy the band for changing it up. And that within itself is pretty odd.”

Support for all dates will come from the esteemed The Academy Is . . . Named as one of Rolling Stone’s top ten artists to watch, The Academy Is . . . have developed a cult following in Australia following the release, and subsequent tour, of second album Santi. This tour marks the highly anticipated return of The Academy Is… to our shores, who will no doubt gives fans a treat as they showcase material from album #3.

I'm an Aussie just moved to Auckland, I think New Zealand is such a Pretty place, but it's odd that i never get to see any of it as it has rained everyday ive been here!

I think it's pretty odd that I enjoy the same music as my 13 year old daughter because I certainly never liked the same bands as my parents. And well she is very pretty and I'm well just plain odd!

it's odd that I have such perfect timing as to always have filled my tank the night before a petrol price fall the next day and yet if I think of this at the time and wait until the next day sure enough the price will be going up so I miss out again!

why is Mrs Blackbird brown? that's odd. And has anyone noticed that the Mr Blackbirds of this world are becoming increasingly dappled with white blotches? What's up with that - are they all gonna turn into albinos?

panic at the disco are pretty odd....
Although these days it seems that its fashionable and pretty to look slightly odd... odd, different is individual, risky and rather cool to youngsters... they have skin oddly lighter than natural... and very pretty hair! I am pretty, and a little odd sometimes, im pretty sure I need to be at this fantastically odd concert.

Pickled Onions. To me, they are surprisingly pretty, but the concept of a whole miniscule onion being pickled.. is quite odd.

Pretty - it's pretty sweet that you are offering tickets and cd for panic
Odd - it's odd (or more unfortunate) that I can't make it to the concert, but would love to still be in the draw for the cds.

These guys are such crowd pleasers, in a good way. They look pretty, they're young and fun, the music is very radio friendly so not odd to see that most people like them. Including me!

What I think is odd is that when I was recently talking about this band I said Kaos at the Disco not Panic at the Disco. Sad a? The pretty thing was that I had had a lot to drink so that makes it alright. I would love to see these guys because they are totally out there and pretty odd really!!!
