Phish is set to perform two special benefit concerts at the Broadview Stage at Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) in Saratoga Springs, New York on August 25th and 26th, 2023. The concerts aim to aid in the recovery efforts for the flood-ravaged communities of Vermont and Upstate New York which experienced historic levels of rain and severe flooding earlier this month.
A short, one-day ticket request period is underway at https://phishfloodrecoverybenefit.shop.ticketstoday.com and ends Wednesday, July 26th at 12PM ET. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Saturday, July 29th at 10AM ET. Travel packages will also be made available for purchase beginning on Friday, July 28th at 9AM ET.
The band is also offering a limited number of Foundation Tickets, which includes a ticket to the show, a private pre-show performance with Phish’s Trey Anastasio and Page McConnell, access to the Foundation Lounge, special Foundation poster and merchandise, among other amenities. More information regarding this offer can be found at https://phishfloodrecoverybenefit.100xhospitality.com/.
In line with the band's philanthropic efforts, all net proceeds from concert and merchandise sales will be directed to The WaterWheel Foundation's 2023 Flood Recovery Fund. This fund has been set up to provide support to the many victims, their families, area businesses, and non-profits impacted by the flooding, catering to both immediate needs and long-term recovery and resilience projects.
Phish established The WaterWheel Foundation in 1997 to manage their charitable activities. For over 25 years, it has leveraged the generosity of the Phish fan community to instigate positive change.
Currently, Phish is in the middle of a wide-ranging summer tour. They are scheduled to perform the first of two sold-out shows at the Mann Center in Philadelphia tonight before embarking on a seven-night run at Madison Square Garden in New York City (July 28–August 5). The summer tour will culminate with their traditional four-night Labor Day Weekend stint at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, CO. The band will then resume touring in October with a short series of shows in Nashville, Dayton, and Chicago.
