Widespread Panic Moves Into Fall

We’ll start with the last week of the year.  The Panic will hold its annual Tunes For Tots Charity concert Dec. 29 at Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium before moving over to the Bridgestone Arena for the last two nights of 2016 – Dec. 30-31.

Will Widespread Panic cease touring after this year?  That was the message put forth by keyboardist Jo Jo Herman when he told Jackson, Miss., newspaper The Clarion-Ledger the band was “going to call it touring-wise after this year.”  Herman said Widespread Panic wasn’t breaking up and would still play events like New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival or venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver. 

Right now the band’s routing keeps on growing.  Here’s what’s on the books, with newly added shows bolded for easy reference:
