Big Red and Conan Go to Alaska

Trey stopped by Conan’s show at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby last night and raged out on Alaska! As if we weren’t already excited enough for summer tour, check the video below to take it to the next level… 3 days people!

Phish Festival in Limestone 8/27-8/29?

While completely unconfirmed and unsubstantiated, the following rumor popped up today right here on Welcome To Now. I received this comment from a reader in response to previous rumors posted here about Phish’s 2010 Summer Tour plans:

“Just confirmed permits have been submitted for Loring Airforce Base Limestone ME. Late Aug. 27/28/29. The town is already asking for volunteers from the towns folk for a large 3 day concert. Hummmmm.. I wonder who that could be!”

Any other heads out there here similar rumblings out of Limestone?

IT Festival - Loring Air Force Base, Limestone ME - 2003

While this is certainly late in the season for a summer festival announcement, recent news that Phish will NOT return to Indio in 2010 does make this scenario more likely.

Phish in Telluride Approved

The final of a series of legal and legislative hurdles was overcome today as local officials gave the final stamp of approval to AEG’s request to hold a pair of Phish shows in the Town Park in Telluride, CO on August 9th and 10th. As part of the negotiations, the town was able to guarantee 1,500 of 9,000 tickets for locals. While this has many phish fans up in arms, there will be no shortage of demand for tickets and scalpers, especially local Coloradoan, are sure to make out big on the event. Rumor has it that tickets will only be available in the form of 2 day passes to limit the overall number of Phish-heads coming to town.

This news makes the Leg 2 Summer Tour dates that were posted here and elsewhere seem less likely. There has also been talk of Phish headlining The Mile High Music Festival, taking place August 14th and 15th in Denver shortly after the proposed Telluride dates. This would likely mean no Red Rocks shows in 2010 and a West Coast tour in early August surrounding these dates. That said, the Leg 1 Dates rumored here remain likely and an announcement seems imminent in the coming weeks.

Phish Summer Tour 2010 Rumors

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!
