This evening, Widespread Panic will open a three-night run at the The Riverside Theater in Milwaukee. The band has a longstanding relationship with the city and the venue. Panic first appeared at Milwaukee’s Shank Hall on 7/23/92 during summer dates in between the two legs of the H.O.R.D.E. tour. The group’s Riverside run will include its 50th show at the venue, continuing a relationship that began on 10/21/06.
Since 2013, Panic fans have raised over $45,000 to support Milwaukee’s Hunger Task Force. The organization “feeds people today by providing healthy and culturally appropriate food to hungry children, families and older adult in the community absolutely free of charge. Hunger Task Force also works to end future hunger by advocating for strong public policies and nutrition programs at the local, state and federal level.’
Widespread Panic, Pabst Theater Group and Hunger Task Force are teaming up and offering fans an opportunity to win a Marq Spusta poster from the 2025 Riverside run autographed by the entire band.
To participate, folks can enter their information here or submit an entry form on Friday night at the Hunger Task Force table (next to the merchandise stand). The winner will be contacted by phone after the 3-day run to confirm shipping or local pickup options. One entry per person.
