The mini-tour will kick off with a two-night run in Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena on April 18, and will continue to make stops in Portland and San Francisco, before concluding in Los Angeles on April 27.

Additionally, Phish will be playing a 2025 Summer tour, starting on June 20 in Manchester, New Hampshire, and continuing along across the country until July 27, when the tour will conclude in Saratoga Springs, New York.

Phish has promised to donate $300,000 from the ticket sales to aid Southern Californians suffering in the wake of the wildfires last month. The donations will be supplied through the band’s longtime nonprofit, the WaterWheel Foundation, which has supported various charitable causes over the years.

Formed in Burlington, Vermont, in 1983, Phish gained popularity in the 1990s.

It’s been almost a week since Kendrick Lamar’s masterful Super Bowl halftime show, and many are still singing its praises, like Trey Anastasio, who raved about the performance in a new interview this week.

“When I saw Kendrick the other night, I was losing my mind,” Anastasio told GQ. “I thought, ‘This is the deepest thing I’ve ever seen at a Super Bowl.’”

The comment came in the context of Anastasio describing his own band, Phish, as “not a very surface band,” which sometimes calls for listeners to dig into the material a little bit before they start to understand the magic. Caveating that he makes “this comparison without even a drop of quality comparison,” Anastasio likened it to Kendrick’s performance.

“I watched it three times, and I still couldn’t pick up on all the messages he was conveying,” he said.

After saying that he would stick his “dick in a blender” to see Phish at the Sphere again last April, Drew Carey has continued his reign as Phish Fan Supreme by DJing an afterparty for the band’s recent New Year’s Eve concert under the apt name DJ Blender.

The afterparty was hosted at Hill Country Barbecue in New York following Phish’s fourth and final show in their New Year’s Eve run at Madison Square Garden. Hosting alongside Phish radio personality Tad Cautious and DJ Cooley, the Price Is Right host delivered a set of funky jams, donning a t-shirt that said “I Don’t Know the Price of Anything.”

In fan-uploaded footage, Carey can be seen spinning Lettuce’s 2018 track “Sam Huff’s Flying Raging Machine.” Watch the video below.

The shows will take place from December 23-31.

In the band’s October 1 announcement on Instagram, they noted that this would mark Phish’s 87th performance at the venue. Their first show at Madison Square Garden was December 30, 1994, making this performance the 30th anniversary of their debut at the venue.

Hours after the death of Phil Lesh, Phish opened the first night of their three-show Albany, New York run with a poignant rendition of “Box of Rain,” the bassist’s most enduring Grateful Dead song.

While the performance marked the first time that Phish has covered “Box of Rain,” guitarist Trey Anastasio previously played the American Beauty standout alongside Lesh at one of the Grateful Dead’s Fare Thee Well concerts in Chicago in 2015:

South Dakota governor Kristi Noem found an unlikely ally in one of the hosts of “The Daily Show,” and it’s all thanks to Donald Trump’s musical town hall. Senior correspondent Desi Lydic broke down the whole bizarre spectacle.

What was supposed to be a Q-and-a on Tuesday devolved into an unexpected concert hosted by DJ Trump. Trump answered four questions from Noem before pausing his town hall after a member of the audience passed out from the heat. After a second audience member passed out, Trump threw in the towel and started to awkwardly dance onstage for over 30 minutes, playing some of his favorite songs. That playlist included not one, but two versions of “Ave Maria.”

“I gotta say, this is the most I’ve ever related to her,” Lydic said during her monologue on Tuesday night, zooming in on a still of an uncomfortable looking Noem. “We...

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, many musicians have used their platforms to try to deliver some much-needed relief. Some have donated money, others have announced benefit concerts — now, joining those efforts is a massive compilation album featuring 135 previously-unreleased tracks from artists like R.E.M., Jeff Tweedy & Karly Hartzman, Jason Isbell, Fleet Foxes, Waxahatchee, Sylvan Esso, and many more.

Titled Cardinals at the Window, the compilation was officially released today, and is now available to purchase on Bandcamp. Curated by three North Carolina natives — musician and community organizer Libby Rodenbough, New Commute founder David Walker, and music journalist Grayson Haver Currin — the album will raise funds for three organizations: Rural Organizing and Resilience, BeLoved Asheville, and the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina.

Across its 135 tracks, Cardinals at the Window features a combination of new recordings and previously-unreleased live tracks. In addition to the aforementioned artists, the compilation’s stacked lineup includes Mj Lenderman,...

Sphere is circling back to U2.

The groundbreaking Las Vegas entertainment venue has confirmed that it will present V-U2, an immersive concert film directed by Morleigh Steinberg and band member The Edge. Opening Sept. 5, the film is billed as a “one-of-a-kind cinematic experience” focused on the iconic band’s inaugural run with U2:Uv Achtung Baby Live at Sphere.

U2 played to more 700,000 fans across 40 sold-out dates from September 2023 through March 2024. The shows commemorated one of U2’s most successful records, the chart-topping 1991 release Achtung Baby, played in its entirety with selected tracks from other U2 efforts over the years. V-U2 is the first film ever to be shot entirely with Big Sky, an ultra-high-resolution camera system developed by Sphere Entertainment and designed to make audiences feel like experiencing the live performances. Also of note: V-U2 makes use of Sphere’s haptic seats, which use vibrations so guests can “feel” the music.

Fans of jam music old and new had reason to rejoice Tuesday night in Grand Rapids, Michigan as Phish were joined onstage by Billy Strings, with the bluegrass legend-in-the-making performing a handful of phan phavorites with the band.

Prior to Phish’s gig at the Van Andel Arena, rumors were abound that Strings, a native of nearby Muir, Michigan, could potentially join the quartet on stage. Toward the end of the second set, Trey Anastasio revealed that a “little local musician” would be sitting in with Phish, kicking off the epic collaboration.

Phish staged perhaps their smallest gig in decades as they packed into a cubicle for NPR’s latest Tiny Desk concert.

Over the course of five songs and 35 minutes, the legendary jam band delivered a performance that spanned their decades-long discography, from the title track of their just-released album Evolve to “You Enjoy Myself,” a live favorite first featured on the band’s 1988 debut LP Junta (and guitarist Trey Anastasio’s personal pick for the potential last-ever-song played by Phish, as he recently told Rolling Stone).

“When we started the band,...

On the heels of releasing their new album, Evolve, Phish have stopped by the NPR headquarters in Washington DC to perform their first-ever Tiny Desk Concert.

Setting up shop at Bob Boilen’s now-iconic desk, the band delivered a jammy set featuring classic cuts like “You Enjoy Myself,” “Sample in a Jar,” and “Chalk Dust Torture,” as well as newer songs, like 2017’s “Sigma Oasis” and “Evolve,” the title track from their latest album. Watch the official video of the performance below.

While this is Phish’s first time performing a Tiny Desk Concert, the band’s members have participated in the series in the past, like when guitarist Trey Anastasio performed a solo set in 2015, riffing on the theme song for NPR’s flagship news program All Things Considered. Bassist Mike Gordon also appeared on the series in 2020.

In other Phish news, the band released their 16th studio album,...

Phish swam over to The Tonight Show Thursday to perform the title track from their new album Evolve, and even cover a bit of Aerosmith.

The band helped craft the show’s cold open with Jimmy Fallon and the Roots’ Questlove and Black Thought. The bit saw Phish getting into an elevator with the host and musicians and, immediately after the door closed, break into a fully a cappella, perfectly harmonized, parody cover of Aerosmith’s “Love in an Elevator” with lyrics tweaked to, “Phish in an Elevator.”

When it comes to cultural clout, Radiohead might have a leg-up on Phish, but according to the band’s guitarist Ed O’Brien, that might not always be the best thing. According to a new interview with Trey Anastasio, O’Brien once told him that Phish’s audiences are more engaged during concerts than Radiohead’s.

The comments came in Anastasio’s new interview with Rolling Stone. “Ed O’Brien from Radiohead came to one of our shows, and gave me one of the greatest compliments in between sets,” Anastasio began. “He watched the show from the audience, and then he came backstage and he said, ‘I spent a lot of the night facing backwards. I was watching the last row of the arena, in the way back, all the way at the top. Every single person in the room was completely involved in the concert.’”

Phish’s new album album, Evolve, has officially arrived. To support the release of their 16th studio release, the band appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night for a performance of its title track, “Evolve.”

Taking The Tonight Show stage, Phish locked into an easy-flowing groove for the performance of “Evolve,” delivering the song’s reflective lyrics over a warm, mid-tempo arrangement. Leaning into their jammy tendencies, guitarist Trey Anastasio and keyboardist Page McConnell each take solos, as the musical ideas interplay underneath. Watch a video of the performance below.

Announced this past April, Evolve is Phish’s first new album in four years, following 2020’s Sigma Oasis. Spanning 12 tracks, the record captures the band’s road-worn sound, featuring songs that decorated the band’s setlists at their recent Sphere residency.

Some songs — like the single “Hey Stranger” and the title track...

Just a few weeks after Phish wrap up their summer tour with a four-night stand at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado, Trey Anastasio will celebrate his 60th birthday. That’s a heavy moment for some people, but Anastasio says he couldn’t be happier about it.

“Maybe this is going to sound strange, but I really like it,” Anastasio says. “It’s like something really amazing is happening, where I’m not part of the scramble anymore. It gives me the opportunity to observe, and enjoy.

There was nothing going on in terms of American or international politics over the last few weeks that late-night would have gotten its teeth into, right?

The majority of late-night hosts were enjoyed some time off over the last couple of weeks, but the likes of Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon are back in the studio and ready to dig into the news of the day.

Will they find time to discuss the state of the U.S. Presidential Election, President Biden’s debate performance and the subsequent calls for him to exit the race and former President Trump’s own debate performance, his ties to Project 2025 and his search for a Vice President?

It’s been a busy week for Trey Anastasio. On Sunday, the Phish guitarist joined Billy Joel onstage at his penultimate Madison Square Garden residency show. On Thursday, he stopped by another New York event: The Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony, where he covered Steely Dan.

You can catch the eight-minute video below, where Anastasio kicks off with 1976’s “Kid Charlemagne,” then dives into the Dan classic “Reelin’ In the Years.”

“When he played the “Baker’s Dozen” down the street at Msg, he played 237 songs over 13 nights,” the announcer said of the band’s 2017 residency.

There are two musical acts immortalized in the rafters of Madison Square Garden, and they both finally met onstage Saturday at the New York arena as Billy Joel brought out Phish’s Trey Anastasio for a couple songs during the Piano Man’s penultimate gig in his longtime Msg residency.

“No one plays the the Garden more than Billy Joel and Trey Anastasio. Tonight they played together,” Msg noted of the occasion, which opened with Joel playing a track the Phish guitarist requested, “Sleeping With the Television On.”

Madison Square Garden Entertainment has apparently had a change of heart on its decision to issue a lifetime ban on the Phish fan credited who ripped a bong inside of the Sphere in Las Vegas during the band’s concert on April 20th, 2024.

After a lawyer initially said that the fan was permanently banned from Sphere and other Msg-owned venues earlier this week, a spokeswoman for the company now says that announcement was made “inadvertently.”

“There was a breakdown in our process due to a change in personnel which resulted in the letter being sent inadvertently,” the spokeswoman said in a statement shared on Saturday. “This customer is not banned from our properties, however, it is still against our policies, which are in accordance with local laws, to smoke, bring glassware into our venues, and disrupt other fans’ enjoyment of the event.”

Madison Square Garden Entertainment has permanently banned a concert-goer credited with the “first bong hit to ever be ripped” inside of the Sphere during a Phish concert on April 20th, 2024.

Video of the individual smoking out of a bong prior to Phish’s concert at the $2.3 billion venue in Las Vegas was shared on Phish fan sites and quickly went viral. While the individual became something of a folk hero among the band’s fans, Msg, the owner of Sphere, didn’t seem to find the video as funny.

In a letter sent by Christopher Schimpf, SVP/Associate General Counsel of Madison Square Garden Entertainment on June 3rd, the concert-goer was informed that they had “violated the guest code of conduct by visibly smoking inside the venue. Sphere Entertainment Co. will not tolerate actions that threaten the safety and security of our guests, and employees.”

Drew Carey has definitely been a bit hyperbolic about how much he loved Phish’s recent residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas. Now, he’s gone so far as to say that the Phish show was so glorious that it made U2 — who previously performed at The Sphere — look “like a bar band.”

Appearing on SiriusXM’s Phish Radio, Carey discussed both Phish’s and U2’s performances at the new billion-dollar Las Vegas venue. The comedian and The Price is Right host described himself as a casual U2 fan and eventually caught a performance at The Sphere, deeming it to be astonishing. “It blew my mind how great it was,” he said. “I told all my friends and The Price Is Right audience how great it was… I went the next two weekends in a row.”

However, despite loving U2’s residency, he recalls being staggered by Phish’s performance almost immediately: “Then,...

For viewers of The Price Is Right, it’s not uncommon to see contestants get riled up when they’re trying to win big money or prizes.

The popular show features games where viewers guess the prices of various household products or big-ticket items to win prizes.

While most of these games involve skill and smarts, contestants also get to participate in games or rounds involving some luck.

That includes spinning the Wheel, where a contestant’s spins can win lots of cash. Viewers recently saw a contestant in disbelief over his luck spinning the Wheel.

However, another contestant was full of emotion as she yelled on stage to Drew Carey about one of the pricing games.

The game show host even described her reaction to the pricing game as an “out-of-body experience.”

Contestant becomes emotional during The Price Is Right

One of the popular games that viewers often see...

Drew Carey compared seeing Phish at the Sphere in Las Vegas as akin to “being edged for four days straight. And then right before the face-melting climax at the end of the fourth day, an angel comes down from heaven, Gabriel, and he shoots f–king heroin in your arm, and he says, ‘Good luck now motherf–er!’ And he leaves, and you have an orgasm for 15 minutes while your eyeballs fall out of your head!” The Price is Right host also said he would “stick my dick in a blender and swear off pussy for the rest of my life” to see the band at Sphere again.”

While it remains to be seen if Phish will return to the $2.3 billion venue for a run of shows, if the event that they do, Carey has a blender ready to go. In response to his viral reaction, the jam band gifted him an autographed blender.

Drew Carey isn’t the same man he was before he attended his first Phish concert. The psychedelic rock band’s shows are trippy enough on their own, but they recently completed a run of shows at the new Las Vegas Sphere venue, a wholly immersive location with LED screens for walls. That twisted combination triggered a rebirth in the comedian. (And Phish thanked him for it.)

“I swear I just talked to God,” Carey posted on X (formerly Twitter) after the show. “Would give you all my money, stick my dick in a blender,...

The audience, host, and celebrity guests weren’t ready for Drew Carey’s crazy description of a Phish concert during his late-night television appearance!

The 65-year-old actor and comedian currently appears as the host of the daytime game show The Price Is Right.

However, he was recently up for a late-night guest spot on After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson.

Carey appeared as a guest on the show along with singer Weird Al Yankovic and actor Thomas Lennon.

During The Talk Show part of Tomlinson’s show, she asked Carey what he would share if the cameras weren’t filming him at the moment.

From there, the former star of The Drew Carey Show told an outlandish story about his wild experience at a Phish concert.

Phish Performed Four Shows At Sphere In Las Vegas

Phish performed in Las Vegas this month. The band performed four different shows from April 18 through April 21. Lead vocalist and guitarist Trey Anastasio, bassist Mike Gordon, drummer Jon Fishman, and keyboardist Page McConnell all took the stage to put on the show which left Drew Carey in awe. There were 68 different songs that Phish performed in unique setlists. The group has been around for decades and is preparing to release its 16th studio album on July 12.
