Panic! At the Disco to headline Honda Civic Tour

Posted by aubin on Thursday, January 10, 2008 at 11:00 AM (EST)

Panic! At the Disco look to be following Fall Out Boy by taking on headlining duties for the 2008 edition of the Honda Civic Tour. The tour will hit 45 cities in North America and will provide support for the band's upcoming sophomore album, Pretty. Odd which is due out March 25, 2008.

As in years past, a one-of-a-kind Honda Civic Hybrid, designed by members of Panic!, will be showcased at each tour stop. The tour will also feature "eco spots," where attendees can educate themselves about environmental-friendly issues including solar backpacks and re-usable water bottles.

You can find some more details in the billboard article.

"re-usable water bottles"

Ummm, how is this innovative? Are they just refilling old coke bottles in the sink like the rest of us?

holy shit, you can reuse bottles?

next thing i know you're gonna be telling me i can bring leftovers home from restaurants

MattRamone (January 10, 2008)

Holy crap! You mean I can turn the sink OFF when I BRUSH MY TEETH???

What a time to be alive.

Rocktopus (January 10, 2008)

Re-usable, so when you throw the fucking things at this shit-pot band, they'll throw em back.

Also, what the fuck is a solar backpack? Last time I checked, backpacks needed no power whatsofuckingever.

Backpacks have changed since you and I have been in school.

Today's backpacks have built in ipods, phones, and personal computers. There's also a scale so when more than 9.9 lbs. of shit is in the bag, you can complain like a little bitch that your back hurts.

Unfortunate for these solar ones, however, is the rape-whistle option won't work in wrestling locker rooms.

... I'm not funny, sorry.

Hey_ska (January 10, 2008)

You're funny.

"a one-of-a-kind Honda Civic Hybrid, designed by members of Panic!,"

So my guess is that it will be an unfinished car, but the band will insist on how great and innovative it is.

Or it will just look like Fall Out Boy's car from last year, but in clown makeup.

Brilliant.

It really is. Good call.

SydBarrett420 (January 10, 2008)

Once a band does this tour and "designs" a Honda car their credibility is gone for me.

Examples: Fallout Boy, Incubus, etc...

Autosuggestion (January 10, 2008)

Oh yeah. This is what lost Panic's cred for you. I can see that.

MattRamone (January 10, 2008)

This is worse than Against Me! signing to Sire.

joetheinvincible (January 10, 2008)

Because the Ramones would never do such a thing!

MattRamone (January 10, 2008)

I was being sarcastic, tardbarge.

telegraphrocks (January 10, 2008)

I'm SOOOOOOO STOKED!

I'll be at ALL 45 STOPS!

YEAH BOY!

red_eye_inc (January 10, 2008)

I hope this tour achieves the ultimate insult: booking in large venues and having to downsize due to poor ticket sales through out the tour. BURN!

jscrbf1989 (January 10, 2008)

If this tour were really ultra-green, it should probably not use stage lighting, buses, huge stadiums...and etc. Al Gore redid his entire eighty year old house and even though he uses jets, I think he's legitimate. But I think PATD! really could give a shit less about the environment or green causes...

Prove me wrong?

Well, if they're vegetarians, that's far more significant than driving hybrid cars in terms of global warming and greenhouse gasses anyway.

I love watching the footage of the lead singer douche getting rocked by a bottle.

ashtraymonument (January 10, 2008)

first time i heard these guys, I thought it was fall out boy using a synthesizer. so it makes sense that they occupy the same lame spot

ArianeIsEatingADanish (January 10, 2008)

So this band sticks an exclamation mark in the middle of their band name and a full stop in the name of their album? Are they trying to work out the most awkward to pronounce way to do everything? Is the title of their next album going to consist entirely of consonants and semi-colons? Goddam I hate it all.

dontwantaname (January 10, 2008)

Beyond lame.

GlassPipeMurder (January 10, 2008)

this interview made me stop hating them

There's a couple of seats still free in my Hummer if anyone needs a ride to one of these shows.

I thought the album was call Pretty. Shit?

Matt_Spazz (January 12, 2008)

That new P!ATD song is so fucking weird/bad.
And it seems they've dropped the !, at least on their Myspace page. Hmmm
