Full-service band booking for clubs, bars, festivals, private events, and beyond. We match the right act to your room, every time.
Band canceled on you? Show is in 48 hours? We specialize in the scramble. Our network is deep and our phones are always on.
Route your band through cities, connect the dots, and make the whole run make financial sense. We know the rooms and the people who run them.
Running a club or bar and struggling to keep your calendar full? We help venues build consistent, exciting lineups that bring people back.
It happens to everyone — a band drops out, a tour falls apart, a venue suddenly has a hole in the calendar. That's exactly when we built this agency. Kat and her crew have filled last-minute slots at everything from 50-cap basements to 2,000-seat theaters.
Our roster is full of professional acts who can learn a set, travel fast, and show up ready. No drama. Just loud music, on time.
We work with bands across the heavy end of the spectrum — punk is our home, but we book everything with an edge.
Are you a band looking to get booked? We're always looking for serious acts who show up and bring the energy.

Panic Booking was born out of the DIY scene — venues that needed bands, bands that needed shows, and nobody to connect them on short notice. So we fixed that.
Led by Kat Rodriguez, our agency works across the full spectrum of the live music industry, from sweaty basement shows to legitimate club stages. We know both worlds, and we move fast in both.
We don't believe in over-promising. We believe in answering the phone, knowing our roster cold, and making deals that work for everyone involved. That's it.
