Widespread Panic has already sold out its three February dates in Athens, Georgia that will kick off its silver anniversary. Now the group has added a series of April shows that will further commemorate the group’s 25 year tenure.

The tour will open on April 1 for the first of two gigs at the Palace in Louisville, KY, a venue where Panic has not appeared since 2007. Still, the most exciting stop on the Panic spring tour itinerary, may well by the group’s two night stand at the Oak Mountain Amphitheater in Pelham, AL where the group last played in April of 2002 (Widespread Panic’s August 12, 2000 show at this venue was later released as the Live at Oak Mountain DVD). The Oak Mountain dates close out the tour, with Charlie Daniels Band opening for Panic on April 15 and Big Gigantic taking the honors on April 16. The only other confirmed support act on these April dates is JJ Grey & MOFRO who will join Widespread Panic at the Civic Center in Asheville, NC on April 8 and 9.
