Phish philled San Phrancisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium with a phlood of phrenzied phans for the phirst of two shows Tuesday night. (Phew!)

Concertgoers started lining up at lunchtime to jockey for a good spot in the GA show. By the time the doors opened at 6 p.m., there were over a thousand people in a line that stretched all the way around the Civic Center Plaza.

Andy Frasco & The U.N. return with “Life is Easy,” a blisteringly clever, tongue-in-cheek folk protest anthem that tackles everything from consumerism to climate change with a grin. The single—out today—features bluegrass phenom Billy Strings, cosmic country shredder Daniel Donato, Mike Gordon (Phish) and longtime Frasco collaborator Steve Poltz (Jewel, Rugburns), all joining forces on a rollicking, subversive singalong that threads the line between satire and sincerity.

Help on the Way LA was created in response to the devastating Altadena wildfires, which displaced families, destroyed homes, and left entire communities struggling to rebuild. Organized by Eric “Kraz” Krasno in partnership with the Song Summit Foundation & Fandiem, the initiative is rallying musicians and fans to provide urgent support for children and musicians who have lost everything. This effort is part of Fan Aid LA which features Metallica, Pearl Jam, Phish, My Chemical Romance, Duran Duran and many more.

Phish has announced a series of West Coast tour dates. Highlights include two-night stands at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena (April 18-19) and San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium (April 22-23) as well as a one-night-only show at Portland, Oregon’s Moda Center on April 20 – the first Phish performance in Portland, OR in over 25 years. The run concludes with a three-night return to Los Angeles’ historic Hollywood Bowl, set for April 25-27.

Jam-rock heavyweight Phish kicked off its beloved New Year’s run at Madison Square Garden on December 28, 2024. The band showed little sign of rust, despite not having played since the October 2024 benefit run in Albany, NY. The setlist included not one, but five rarities, along with a robust helping of tasty jams.

On Saturday evening, it was announced that Phish's performance the following day had been moved to 1:00 PM in an attempt to avoid potentially dangerous weather. Fans deconstructed the cardboard City Hall structure, while others began breaking down their campsites. Although this wasn't an ideal scenario for the final day of Mondegreen, everyone on hand made the best of the scorching heat during the Sunday fun day set

The third night of a four-day festival is always the sweetest. Everyone has learned the ropes, such as where the dope burrito vendor is hawking sustenance and when the nearest porta-potties are being cleaned. Night three at Mondegreen brought a very large Saturday night crowd, along with a level of comfort in these new surroundings. This comfort extended all the way to Phish themselves, who delivered two sets of profound jams to 40,000+ fans.

Phish festivals are known for a few key details: remote locations, stunning art displays, and the signature Ferris wheel. They almost always play an unannounced set during the festival, and Mondegreen was no exception. Day two at this Dover, DE-based encampment featured not two but three sets of jams. The third set was an extended, free-flowing jam with no songs or structure. Some of the best things in life are unplanned, and this secret set was no exception.

Phish opened Mondegreen, their first festival in nine years, on Thursday, August 15, 2024. The event took place at The Woodlands, a well-known festival venue in Dover, Delaware, adjacent to Dover Motor Speedway. The band delivered two sets of blissful joy in this lush, green setting, much to the delight of fans.

As the Phish summer tour rolls on, the jams continue to heat up. Their first night at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on August 9, 2024, was no exception, as the band honored the legendary venue adjacent to the grounds of the original Woodstock Festival with a raging show. The venue was quite soggy for most of the performance, as the remnants of a former hurricane had passed through Bethel, NY, earlier in the afternoon.
