Members of Panic! At The Disco – both past and present – have been back onstage this month in order to raise money for LA fire relief.

First, Ryan Ross and Dallon Weekes joined Phantom Planet at The Regent Theater on February 1, and now frontman Brendon Urie has been spotted performing at the Glendale Presbyterian Church.

For the first time since Panic!’s final show at Manchester’s AO Arena on the Viva Las Vengeance Tour in March 2023, Brendon returned to the stage for the I Love LA Eaton fire relief concert on Saturday night (February 8), helping to raise money for the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.

Though he wasn’t revealed as a performer ahead of time, the singer showed up to deliver a typically smooth cover of Charlie Chaplin classic Smile – and you can check out some fan footage below:

Brendon will be back onstage again this year, performing A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out in full (and more!) at October’s When We Were Young. He’ll be joined by fellow co-headliners blink-182 doing a throwback setlist, and the likes of Weezer, Avril Lavigne, The Offspring, The Used, All Time Low, Knocked Loose and more.
