Panic! At The Disco delivered a blistering performance at Reading 2015 - including a cover of the Queen classic, 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Watch footage below. 

Appearing in a dazzling silver blazer in the boiling afternoon August sunshine, Brendon Urie led his band through a rousing set of emo dancefloor classics, fan favourites and solid gold hits.

Early peaks came with 'The Ballad Of Mona Lisa', 'Girls/Girls/Boys', 'Miss Jackson' and the fittingly summer-y and Beatles-esque 'Nine In The Afternoon', but the best was saved for a moment of pure rock legend nostalgia. 

"This is a new song, we just wrote it backstage," joked Urie, before crooning his way into an explosive rendition of Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' - uniting the vast crowd gathered at the main arena in a deafening holler-back sing-along, word for word to perfect. This moment will be hard to forget.

"You guys are way too much fucking fun," blushed Urie afterwards. "Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - this is fucking amazing", before launching into 'This Is Gospel. 

Ending of course with 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies', Panic! At The Disco sealed one of the most instantly danceable sets of Reading 2015 with a kiss of pure joy.
