Welcome To Now

With many big acts announcing summer dates, and festival lineup announcement galore, everybody’s wondering what’s going on in the Phish camp for summer this year? All talk seems to be pointing to an East Coast/Midwest leg in early June and West Coast/CO leg in late July and August, very similar to last summer’s arrangment. The following sets of dates have been circulating for the two legs (see below).

Phish at The Gorge, Summer 1997

Unlike last year, when very solid rumors and inside sources everywhere were confirming summer plans MONTHS in advance, these dates seem to be based mostly on venue holds, hearsay, and PT blotter, but they are the most realistic seeming dates circulating thus far. In terms of when an announcement will take place, the smart money is on the weeks following Mike Gordon’s upcoming solo tour (March 5th-March 14th ). Whatever ends up happening, spring is in the air and we’re not much more than 90 days away (if that!) from Summer Phish – so… set the gear shift for the high gear of your soul, and get ready to rage!
