Mondegreen

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.
