Phish’s 2015 summer tour will begin on the West Coast and include a return to Watkins Glen International in New York, where the band will stage Magnaball, its 10th festival. The run will open with two evenings at Les Schwab Amphitheatre in Bend, OR (July 21 & 22). The band will also play two-night stands in Atlanta, GA (July 31 & August 1), East Troy, WI (August 8 & 9), Philadelphia, PA (August 11 & 12) and Columbia, MD (August 15 & 16). The West Coast dates will include a July 25 show at The Forum in Los Angeles, CA.

 

Magnaball – scheduled for August 21-23 – will feature numerous activities, attractions and art installations in addition to a series of performances by the band. Watkins Glen International, which was also the site of Phish’s 2011 festival, Super Ball IX, is one of the premier road racing tracks in the U.S. Located amid the rolling hills of central New York’s scenic Finger Lakes region, it is a short drive from numerous Northeastern cities. Camping and travel packages will be available. The event continues a tradition that Phish forged in August of 1996 with The Clifford Ball, hailed as “groundbreaking” by Rolling Stone, which observed, “there was a real story; that in an age of corporate sponsorship, this completely home-grown thing happened that was different from any other concert.” For additional information on Magnaball, visit magnaball.phish.com.

 

For the fifth straight year, Phish will wrap up its summer outing with a trio of Labor Day weekend shows at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, CO (9/4 – 6). See below for a complete itinerary. The band will not be touring this fall.

 

Tickets for Magnaball will go on sale this Friday, March 20, at Noon ET at http://magnaball.shop.ticketstoday.com. An online ticket request period is currently underway for all other shows at http://tickets.phish.com/. Tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning Thursday, April 2.

Phish will celebrate Record Store Day with the April 18 release of its first-ever full-length live vinyl box set, New Year’s Eve 1995: Live At Madison Square Garden. The band’s three-set performance was named one of the “Greatest Concerts of the ’90s” by Rolling Stone. The deluxe six-LP collection includes previously unpublished photos from the show and an essay by author Parke Puterbaugh. The collection will be available exclusively at participating independently owned record stores across the country.
