Panjo 5 was an Australian dance and pop music quintet. The band was formed following a reality television talent show called Airtime!, which was broadcast on Nickelodeon and the Nine Network.{{citation|url=http://www.panjo5.com.au/Panjo.html|title=Panjo 5 Home|publisher=eccreative|accessdate=8 July 2009}}{{Dead link|date=April 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{citation|url=http://www.last.fm/music/Panjo+5|title=Panjo 5|publisher=Last.fm|accessdate=8 July 2009}}{{citation|url=http://express-advocate-wyong.whereilive.com.au/lifestyle/story/panjo-5-is-living-its-dream/|title=Panjo 5 is living its dream|last=McCumstie|first=Alicia|publisher=Central Coast Express Advocate|accessdate=8 July 2009}}
Their second song, "Stay Closer" received airtime on the Today Network and peaked at number 33 on the Australian Top 100 Physical Singles Chart.
