Panic At The Disco played their first ever set at Glastonbury tonight (June 27).

Headlining the Other Stage at the same time as Kings Of Leon�s slot on the Pyramid Stage, the US emo-rockers thanked their fans for turning out - the drew a modest crowd due the competition of bands playing across the site - and "the sky for not raining tonight".

The band then fired through a set heavy on material from second album 'Pretty. Odd.', including 'Pas De Cheval', [/b]'Northern Downpour'[/b] and �Camisado�.

�How many of you guys are single?� asked guitarist Ryan Ross before �Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off�. "Maybe you'll done something about that by the end of this song."

Folk pastiche tune �Folkin� Around�, meanwhile, was introduced by Urie as �a good old campfire song�, while the band asked to see their fans' "jazz hands" before" 'There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey'.

For the band's encore, meanwhile, Urie played 'Mad As Rabbits' solo, encouraging the crowd to sing the track's keyboard parts.
