Don't Panic: The Fest FL 2026

About this event

Don’t Panic was formed in 2009 in the Pocono Mountains near Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania with founding members vocalist/guitarist Ted Felicetti, bassist Keith Slader, guitarist AJ Larsen, and drummer Anthony Paesano, who solidified the current lineup by 2010. After releasing their debut EP in 2009, the band took a lengthy touring hiatus—spanning nearly a decade—before returning to full activity in 2019. Since their comeback, they’ve released three full-length albums: See Through It All (2020), Dark Horse (September 2021), and Setting Up to Fail (August 2023), showcasing their blend of melodic pop-punk with heavier rock influences and citing inspiration from bands like Bayside, Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters, The Menzingers, and others.

Most recently, they released the single “Honest” in August 2025 with an upcoming fourth full-length studio album titled For Your Consideration scheduled for release onApril 17, 2026. Touring has been a core part of Don’t Panic’s resurgence carrying out a very heavy live schedule through 2022–2025 alongside notable acts such as Bowling for Soup, Less Than Jake, The Ataris, Alien Ant Farm, The Spill Canvas, Wheatus, Unwritten Law and others. Their 2025-2026 itinerary remains packed, with appearances at events like The Rock Boat, Fiesta Oyster Bake and Four Chord Festival as well as a broad fall tour hitting cities across the US with artists including Bowling for Soup, Secondhand Serenade, Wheatus and more.
