on tour: Jake Wesley Rogers (photos)
Jake Wesley Rogers is simply a star — there’s really no better way to put it.
From the moment he first stepped onstage opening for Panic! At The Disco in 2022, I immediately fell in love with everything about him. He brought the Madison Square Garden crowd to life, filling the room with his powerful voice, fierce theatricality and undeniable stage presence. Right away, I knew this kid has star power.
Jake Wesley Rogers joined Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco to perform House of Memories at Madison Square Garden.
I was fortunate enough to see and photograph Jake on a few dates of the Viva Las Vengeance tour, and he blew me away every single time.
One of my favorite experiences from the entire tour was capturing Jake’s excitement when he spotted a fan’s sign in the crowd that said “Pluto is still a planet!” in reference to his song, Pluto. Those genuine moments between artists and fans are what make live shows special.
Jake’s radiant authenticity shines through every moment he spends onstage, and simply witnessing it feels like being given permission to be truly yourself. Do yourself a favor and give him a listen now:
And while you’re at it, I highly recommend catching Jake on tour this spring to experience the magic for yourself. The tour kicks off today in Tampa. Get tickets at jakewesleyrogers.com.
