Widespread Panic will play Richmond's Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront in September.

Why it matters: It was one of the bands (along with Dave Matthews) that Richmonders have consistently shared on social they want to see play the new venue.

Driving the news: The blues and rock jam band will play Richmond for two shows, on Sept. 12 and 13, LiveNation announced this week.

Tickets go on sale Friday at 10am.

Between the lines: Widespread Panic and Dave Matthews Band are so far the only two bands with back-to-back shows at Allianz in the coming months, and both are expected to draw big crowds.

Both also have semi-local connections: DMB has Charlottesville roots, while Widespread Panic's bassist, David Schools, is from Richmond. (He graduated from Collegiate.)

What's next: Allianz Amphitheater opens in June.
