ORONO — The University of Maine’s Alfond Arena will transform from hockey arena to concert venue to host alternative rock band Panic At The Disco and the Honda Civic Tour on Friday, May 2.
Produced by Student Government, the concert will also feature bands Motion City Soundtrack, The Hush Sound and Phantom Planet — as well as a Honda Civic Hybrid customized and autographed by Panic At The Disco. In keeping with tradition, the tour will have an eco-friendly theme, with one dollar from every ticket going into a fund designated by tour partners Reverb and Global Inheritance.
Panic at the Disco’s new release, “Pretty. Odd.,” which follows the band’s 2005 debut, “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out,” debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart. The album’s first single, “Nine in the Afternoon,” hit radio in late January and climbed to the No. 8 spot on Billboard’s Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart.
Tickets to the May 2 concert start at just $30 and are available online at UMaineTix.com or from the Alfond Arena ticket office by calling 581-BEAR. For more information contact Student Entertainment at 581-1701.
