Phish Announces Magnaball Festival, New Tour Dates for Summer 2015

---

Phish Summer Tour

For the first time since 2011, Phish will be adding a three-night festival into its summer tour plans for 2015. The full venture, announced on March 18, includes a total of 22 concerts around the U.S. stretching from July through September, plus three nights of the New York-based Magnaball Festival. Before the Phish summer tour officially begins, Trey Anastasio also will be teaming up with remaining Grateful Dead members for the band’s big three-night send-off at Chicago’s Soldier Field over Fourth of July weekend.

Magnaball Phish Festival Scheduled for Aug. 21-23
During the third weekend of August, Phish will deliver Magnaball, its 10^th festival, to fans at New York’s Watkins Glen International Raceway. The Finger Lakes-adjacent racetrack was also the site of the last Phish festival, Super Ball IX, in July 2011.

This 2015 Phish festival will include on-site camping options at Watkins Glen International Raceway for fans looking to get a full Magnaball experience. The festival will also feature an on-site farmers market, general store, a variety of food vendors, and various art installations on the grounds for the duration of the weekend.

 

Phish Tour Dates for 2015 Include Many Familiar Venues
If you don’t have a chance to make it to Magnaball, the remaining tour dates will bring the quintessential Phish experience to fans all over the U.S. So far, Phish has only announced one summer tour leg for the coming year with fewer dates than the band played last summer. Still, a number of fan-favorite venues will feature into the 2015 trek, including two-night stints at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wis. (Aug. 8-9), Philadelphia’s Mann Center for the Performing Arts (Aug. 11-12), and Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md. (Aug. 15-16).

As has become tradition, Phish will be closing out its summer tour dates with three back-to-back nights headlining Dick’s Sporting Goods Park over Labor Day weekend (Sept. 4-6). The Commerce City, Colo., venue has been the last stop on the Vermont group’s annual trek since 2011.
