Sydney’s local
“PANIC! AT THE DISCO”
returns for one final
night — celebrating
15 years of
VICES & VIRTUES
.
.
Following the overwhelming success of September’s A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out 20th anniversary tribute headlining Oxford Art Factory, the tribute foursome return in 2026 for one last curtain call: the 15th anniversary of Panic! At The Disco’s Vices & Virtues.
Released in 2011, Vices & Virtues marked Panic!’s theatrical rebirth after the sudden departure of former guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker. To honour the milestone, the album will be performed in full, interwoven with selections from earlier albums A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out,Pretty. Odd. and a handful of modern-era favourites.
Audiences can expect a brand new production aesthetic — drawing from the album’s steampunk and Victorian influences — with authentic costuming, thematic set pieces, and the same high-energy, immersive performance that lit up Oxford Art Factory earlier this year. With Panic! At The Disco once again shying away after their explosive When We Were Young comeback — and with no plans to re-emerge — this is the only chance for Australian audiences to experience the remnants of the P!ATD magic.
“This isn’t just a cover show,” says Warwick Smith, the Australian independent artist who reprises the role of Brendon Urie. “It’s theatre, it’s tribute, and it’s a farewell. Playing [A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out] was a bit of a resurrection… this one’s like a funeral. It’s the last chance for fans here to step back into Panic!’s world and for us to have a closing chapter on these tributes.”
The band / cast of the show consists of:
Warwick Smith portraying Brendon Urie
Joshua Swat portraying Spencer Smith (drummer)
Thomas Clarke portraying Dallon Weekes (bassist)
Emil Mossop portraying Ian Crawford (guitarist)
As with their earlier show at Oxford Art Factory, the band’s own queer representation remains central to the production, reflecting Panic! At The Disco’s deep and enduring connection with LGBTQ+ audiences. Performing on Oxford Street — the heart of Sydney’s queer community — adds another layer of meaning, situating the show within a space historically tied to visibility, celebration, and pride
In recognition of this, they are currently scouting local LGBTQ+ charities to donate a portion of profits to.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
