Of all celebrity appearances during this year’s Stanley Cup Final, Panic! at the Disco’s hometown’s performance excited fans most.

The 2018 Stanley Cup Finals has seen celebrities including Lil Jon, Michael Buffer, Floyd Mayweather and Kenan Thompson, but Panic!’s performance — announced just 45 minutes prior to the band taking the stage — drew a crowd of hundreds to the Bellagio Fountains.

Instagram user melody._.wood invited the crew back to their old stomping grounds with open arms:

"Welcome home"

Frontman Brendon Urie took over the NHL’s Snapchat for a short announcement that the band would be playing before the start of the Game 5.

Of course, the native gave a quick shout out to the Golden Knights before sending all virtual viewers off with a smooch and a giggle that could melt every teenager’s heart.

Urie’s undeniable voice rang through the crowd of the Las Vegas Strip as the quickly assembled audience gawked at the hit song “High Hopes” off the band’s upcoming album Pray for the Wicked set to release June 22.

Those who could not make their way down to the Strip wished they could.

Urie’s Instagram received a lot of activity after he posted a photo of the performance. The first reason being the star doesn’t post much (leading one fan to concludee the “drought is over”), and the second reason being Panic! fans are not afraid to show the love.

A comment under Urie’s photo from just.another.em0 shows the extent a fan will go. Some would say crazy, others would say a true fan.

"I really wanna see you live but my friend “doesn’t feel like it” so I’m not friends with her no more"

Panic! reaches further than the United States as one user from Canada expressed her excitement to see the band next month following the Vegas performance.

"IM SO EXCIED TO SEE YOU IN JULY HELLO FORM CANADA"

You know you are excited when you can’t even form a sentence. That’s true fan love, kimberlyy_3.

One Instagram fan decided to take the liberty of summing up the entire experience.

"That’s freaking awesome"

Yes it was, instamakattack.
