Trey Anastasio will celebrate the fifth anniversary of his historic 2020 Beacon Jams residency with a very special three-night run at New York City’s legendary Beacon Theatre, set for November 28–30.

Proceeds from the shows will benefit the Divided Sky Foundation (DSF). Artist presales begin Wednesday, August 13, at 12 PM (ET). All remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, August 15, at 12 PM (ET). For complete details, please visit trey.com/tour.
During The Beacon Jams in the fall of 2020, fans contributed more than $1.2 million to help open a recovery center dedicated to treating those affected by alcoholism and addiction. Through their generosity, the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program was born. Opened in November of 2023 in beautiful Ludlow, VT, it has now offered compassionate treatment to hundreds of individuals in a safe, nurturing environment. Rooted in the 12 Steps, Emotional Sobriety, and mindfulness, Divided Sky addresses the root causes of addiction and never turns away anyone due to financial need.
Streamed for free over eight consecutive Fridays during the height of Covid, the unprecedented virtual residency –which became a much-needed gathering place for fans around the world during a time of profound isolation –found Anastasio reimagining music from across his 42-year career through a mix of acoustic and electric performances, unexpected collaborations, interactive moments with the home audience, and countless surprises. Each unique show drew from his entire catalog — debuting brand-new songs, revisiting TAB favorites, and offering fresh, inventive takes on Phish classics, many enhanced by striking new arrangements with the Rescue Squad Strings.
“The Beacon Jams shows were the most artistically satisfying thing I’ve ever worked on,” Anastasio reflects. “They meant so much to everyone involved — not just the audience, but the musicians as well. Everyone was hungry for music and connection, and somehow we found a way to create community in the middle of such a messed-up, isolating moment. Even the name felt meaningful — like we were shining a searchlight into the fog and manifesting something positive out of something so negative.
“At the time, addiction and alcoholism numbers were climbing, and there we were celebrating this dream of creating a sober retreat that could truly help. Now, five years later, that dream is a fully functioning facility doing incredible work. I’ve never been part of anything so pure in its intent. Musically, it was the pinnacle of my career because it combined everything I’ve ever done — Phish, TAB, my solo acoustic work, and the more orchestral projects. My hope is to bring that same spirit of openness and inclusiveness to these three anniversary shows.”

Over the past four decades, composer/guitarist/vocalist Trey Anastasio, who was named by Rolling Stone as one of “The 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,” has forged a singular, multi-faceted career, winning acclaim and garnering accolades across myriad genres and disciplines, including rock, classical, musical theatre, and more. Anastasio has received three GRAMMY® Award nominations and, in 2013, received a Tony Award nomination honoring his work co-writing the score for the Broadway musical Hands on a Hardbody. An accomplished composer and arranger, Anastasio has performed his original compositions with numerous symphonies, including The New York Philharmonic, The National Symphony Orchestra, The Los Angeles Philharmonic, The Boston Pops, and many more.
Anastasio, along with Jon Fishman (drums, vocals), Mike Gordon (bass, vocals), and Page McConnell (keyboards, vocals), formed Phish in 1983 in Burlington, VT, and together have since earned one of music’s most dedicated fan communities for its blend of distinctive songcraft, extended improvisation, and immersive live performances, all fusing a variety of genres into their own freewheeling sound and vision. The band has released 16 studio albums and is 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. To date, the band has performed 87 sold-out shows at The Garden since their debut there in 1994. In addition, Phish have influenced a new generation of American rock festivals through 11 self-produced festivals, including, most recently, 2024’s Mondegreen, which was celebrated in a GQ feature that hailed them for “what may be the most singular and stubbornly idiosyncratic career of any major American rock band.” In 2024, the band performed a four-night sold-out run at Sphere in Las Vegas, the second act to perform there, following U2’s inaugural run at the groundbreaking venue.
