Summer Phish-ing Plans
Before you know it the months will fly by and it will be time for Phish to head back on the road for its summer tour. The band has booked 24 dates through the States as well as its first show in Canada in nearly 13 years.
The itinerary includes stops at venues Phish has never played as well as a return to old favorites such as The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Wash., and Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl. A few cities get one-off shows while others are lucky enough to get two or even three nights of Phish.
For the third consecutive year Trey Anastasio and the gang will say farewell to summer by playing a trio of Labor Day weekend shows in Commerce City, Colo., at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. A limited number of weekend camping tickets and RV passes are available for these gigs.
