On Saturday evening, it was announced that Phish's performance the following day had been moved to 1:00 PM in an attempt to avoid potentially dangerous weather. Fans deconstructed the cardboard City Hall structure, while others began breaking down their campsites. Although this wasn't an ideal scenario for the final day of Mondegreen, everyone on hand made the best of the scorching heat during the Sunday fun day set
The third night of a four-day festival is always the sweetest. Everyone has learned the ropes, such as where the dope burrito vendor is hawking sustenance and when the nearest porta-potties are being cleaned. Night three at Mondegreen brought a very large Saturday night crowd, along with a level of comfort in these new surroundings. This comfort extended all the way to Phish themselves, who delivered two sets of profound jams to 40,000+ fans.
Phish festivals are known for a few key details: remote locations, stunning art displays, and the signature Ferris wheel. They almost always play an unannounced set during the festival, and Mondegreen was no exception. Day two at this Dover, DE-based encampment featured not two but three sets of jams. The third set was an extended, free-flowing jam with no songs or structure. Some of the best things in life are unplanned, and this secret set was no exception.
Phish opened Mondegreen, their first festival in nine years, on Thursday, August 15, 2024. The event took place at The Woodlands, a well-known festival venue in Dover, Delaware, adjacent to Dover Motor Speedway. The band delivered two sets of blissful joy in this lush, green setting, much to the delight of fans.
As the Phish summer tour rolls on, the jams continue to heat up. Their first night at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on August 9, 2024, was no exception, as the band honored the legendary venue adjacent to the grounds of the original Woodstock Festival with a raging show. The venue was quite soggy for most of the performance, as the remnants of a former hurricane had passed through Bethel, NY, earlier in the afternoon.
After a 26-year hiatus, Phish returned to Grand Rapids with a bang, proving once again why they are one of the most dynamic and beloved live bands in the world. The anticipation in the nearly packed Van Andel Arena was palpable, and Phish did not disappoint, delivering a night filled with deep jams, surprise collaborations, and a setlist that kept everyone on their toes.
Jam rock titan Phish kicked off a mighty three-night run at the legendary field of dreams, the Ruoff Music Center (formerly known as Deer Creek Music Center), on August 2, 2024.
The legendary jam band Phish once again proved why they are the undisputed kings of live improvisational music with their electrifying performance at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA, last night. The band, currently on their Summer Tour 2024, delivered a set that had the crowd dancing, singing, and basking in the pure joy that only a Phish show can bring.
In a theater not so far away, where the walls hum with the echoes of a thousand nights, a gathering of cosmic proportions unfolded beneath the watchful gaze of the ever-spinning disco ball. The Capitol Theatre, a vessel adrift in the sea of time, Port Chester, its current harbor, bore witness to the convergence of spirits old and new, as the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Grateful, under the baton of one Phil Lesh, celebrated the maestro's 84th passage around the sun.
Phish returned to the iconic Madison Square Garden in the heart of New York, NY on December 28, 2023, for their eightieth show at the famed arena. They also commenced their annual four-night New Year's run for a sold-out crowd of donut-clad individuals. Like a fine wine, this band only gets better with age, and the proof is in the pudding: a first night full of old favorites and a four-song encore.
