Both will perform late-night DJ sets, with additional names to be announced.

Phish – Trey Anastasio (guitar, vocals), Jon Fishman (drums, vocals), Mike Gordon (bass, vocals), and Page McConnell (keyboards, vocals) – has earned one of music’s most dedicated fan communities for its blend of idiosyncratic songcraft, extended improvisation, and immersive live performances, all fusing a variety of genres into their own freewheeling sound and vision.

Formed in 1983 in Burlington, VT, Phish has released 16 studio albums, beginning with 1989’s Junta and continuing through 2024’s Evolve, released on the band’s own JEMP Records. In 2002, the band launched LivePhish, the official streaming platform that offers high-quality soundboard recordings of every show, regular releases from Phish’s substantial archive, and 4k live webcasts.

Earlier this summer, Phish launched LivePhish With, a new tier that gives fans a deeper, more connected way to experience the band all year long, whether following every show in real time or exploring Phish’s extensive live history. LivePhish With allows fans to view upcoming Phish livestreams in 4K as part of a single subscription, with on-demand replay access through the end of each tour. In addition, LivePhish With (which replaced the current LivePhish+ HiFi tier) offers subscribers on-demand access to the official Phish lossless audio archive – featuring official recordings of every Phish show since 2002 – along with a rotating library of exclusive curated concert video releases from the Phish Archives.

Widely recognized among live music’s most beloved and inventive artists, Phish has played over 2,000 shows since their formation, regularly selling out multiple nights at arenas, amphitheaters, and stadiums across North America, Halloween extravaganzas, and four-night New Year’s Eve celebrations at NYC’s world-famous Madison Square Garden. To date, Phish have performed 96 sold-out shows at The Garden since their debut performance there in 1994. In 2017, Phish performed The Bakers’ Dozen, a 13-night concert series that saw the band play 237 unique songs, repeating none during the entire run. The 13 shows concluded with Phish being presented with a banner commemorating the unprecedented series, which hangs in The Garden’s rafters.

In 1996, Phish presented The Clifford Ball, the first of 11 self-produced festivals, held on the decommissioned Plattsburgh Air Force Base in upstate New York, and influenced a new generation of American rock festivals, including Bonnaroo, among others. Phish marked the turn of the millennium with a New Year’s Eve festival at Florida’s Big Cypress Indian Reservation, drawing a record-setting attendance of 80,000 people, playing an historic seven-hour set, culminating at dawn on New Year’s Day.

2024 proved to be a landmark year for Phish, including their highly acclaimed four-night sold-out run at Sphere Las Vegas. In addition, that year’s annual summer live run was highlighted by Mondegreen, a four-day festival at The Woodlands in Dover, DE. The band’s 11th self-produced festival and first in nine years, Mondegreen was celebrated in a GQ feature which hailed Phish for “what may be the most singular and stubbornly idiosyncratic career of any major American rock band.” 2026 saw Phish return to Sphere Las Vegas for a sold-out nine-night residency at the groundbreaking venue.

In 1997, Phish founded The WaterWheel Foundation to oversee the band’s various charitable activities, harnessing the kindness of the Phish fan community to create positive change. WaterWheel fulfills this mission by collecting donations for local nonprofit organizations in association with Phish tour dates via WaterWheel’s Touring Division. WaterWheel also supports non-profits based in Phish’s home state of Vermont, especially those focused on cleaning up the Lake Champlain watershed. WaterWheel chooses beneficiaries from a wide range of causes, including those working to protect the environment, promote social justice, fight food insecurity, provide music education, register voters, and help women and children, the homeless, and others in need. 2023 saw Phish perform two benefit concerts at Saratoga Springs, NY’s Broadview Stage at SPAC, raising over $3.5M for flood recovery efforts in Vermont and Upstate New York. In 2024, Phish performed a three-night stand at Albany, NY’s MVP Arena, benefitting the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program and its recently opened facility in Ludlow, VT. 100% of all net proceeds from the three concerts – including ticket revenues, merchandise sales, and a pay-per-view livestream – generated over $4M in support of the Divided Sky Foundation, the non-profit addiction recovery organization started by Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio.
