Phish Reunites: First Three Shows At Hampton In March.

Posted by Shaun Harvey on October 1st, 2008 9 Comments

The rumors of a comeback kicked into high gear earlier this summer when three of the members of Phish appeared on stage together at the Rothbury Music Festival back in July.  Well now those rumors have become a reality as Phish has announced it is indeed getting the band back together.  The band’s first three shows will be held at “The Mothership”, aka the Hampton Coliseum, on March 6, 7, and 8, 2009.  The announcement came via this video which was posted earlier today on Phish’s website.

According to the band’s website additional shows throughout 2009 will be announced soon.  The Hampton Coliseum shows will mark the first time that guitaritst Trey Anastasio, bassist Mike Gordon, keyboardist Page McConnell, and drummer Jon Fishman have performed together since their farewell show at Coventry, Vermont back in 2004.

A limited number of tickets are now available via the band’s online ticketing system.  [for info click here].  Tickets go on sale to the public on Saturday, October 18 at 10am.  I’m guessing they will sell out in less than an hour.  Phish is back.

    Are they going to contribute the EPIC (no pun intended) sums of cash they will reap from these shows to the economic hippie bailout? Will people who forked over $300 for a ticket still be selling grilled cheese in the parking lot? Can I score some dankity diggity dank nugs, brah?
