Phish announce national tour
Last year was a very good one for Phish fans: Their beloved jamsters got back together after a five-year hiatus, put out the album Joy, and hosted their own music festival playing eight sets over three nights at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California—where Coachella is held every year. So, how are they going to top that in 2010? By announcing another sizable tour, one that kicks off in Chicago’s Toyota Park on June 11 and winding its way throughout the rest of the country by mid-August. (Actually, the Chicago area is getting a lot of Phish love, with Trey Anastasio and his band also hitting nearby East Troy, Wisc.’s Alpine Valley Music Theatre on Aug. 14 and 15 as well.) Not only that, but April is supposed to see the release of Phish 3D—a concert film culled from the aforementioned Festival 8. So, one way or another, you’ll be able to get your Phish fix in the coming months. Just remember that should you opt for the live experience, the only way to safeguard against that patchouli smell is to not touch anyone. Don’t say you haven’t been warned. Tickets go on sale for the tour on April 2, and here are the announced dates:
