The Pray for the Wicked Tour [ 1] was a concert tour by Panic! at the Disco , in support of the project's sixth studio album Pray for the Wicked (2018). The tour began in Minneapolis on July 11, 2018, and concluded in Rio de Janeiro on October 3, 2019. The tour sold over one million tickets. This was also the last Panic! tour where songs off Vices & Virtues were performed.[ 2]
Background and development
Panic! at the Disco performing at the Pepsi Center during the Pray for the Wicked Tour.
On March 21, 2018, the band released the latest music video for "Say Amen (Saturday Night) " and a new single "(Fuck A) Silver Lining ". With the release came the announcement of a summer tour. Arizona and Hayley Kiyoko were announced as the opening acts.[ 3]
Controversy
Touring guitarist Kenny Harris officially departed from the band's touring line-up in September 2018. This occurred two days following the surfacing of sexual misconduct claims made against Harris on Twitter. The band said that Harris’ departure was due to "a personal matter" on their Twitter.[ 4] Harris was replaced by
Mike Naran for the remainder of the tour.
As of March 27, 2019, the "Pray for the Wicked Tour" has totaled $49 million, excluding the European dates yet to be reported, a remarkable 170 percent increase over the Death of a Bachelor Tour 's $18.1 million, which was already a giant leap forward from the act's co-headline tour with Weezer and its headline Vices & Virtues Tour .[ 5]
Set list
The set list was performed on July 11, 2018, in Minneapolis, and is not intended to represent the majority of the shows on the tour.[ 6]
Notes
During the show in Toronto, Hayley Kiyoko joined Urie on stage during the performance of "Girls/Girls/Boys", as she was unable to perform her opening set due to issues getting across the Canadian border.[ 7]
During the show in Manchester, a technical glitch temporarily shut down the show in the middle of "Bohemian Rhapsody". However, the fans finished the song with Urie a capella.[ 8]
