It’s time to panic, Fayetteville.

Legendary southern rock jazz/fusion band Widespread Panic is coming to the AMP July 17, and we’ve got a pair of tickets to give away to the show.

The Georgia-based band is known for their prolific touring and their unique brand of heavily improvised southern blues that has had fans following them from city to city for the better part of three decades.

Formed by vocalist/guitarist John “JB” Bell, bassist Dave Schools and late guitarist Michael Houser, the band has released 12 studio albums, and played hundreds of packed concerts over the years. They were last in the region as one of the headliners of Wakarusa in 2013.

Tickets for the AMP show start at $31, and are on sale at amptickets.com, or by calling the Walton Arts Center box office at 479-443-5600.

You won’t need to buy tickets, though, if you’re the winner of the following giveaway. Good luck, buddies.
