Phish Tour Details

From its beginnings at the University of Vermont in the early 1980s, Phish has built a strong fan base around its live shows. Phish tours have become legendary over the years, thanks to the group’s ability to change up setlists, and even individual songs, with new live flourishes. The community built around Phish live shows has also helped the band gain a strong following. Phish “phans” are incredibly devoted to the group, and many travel across the country several times a year to catch the latest Phish tour in person.

Since 1983, Phish have toured the country and entertained thousands. In 1989, the band played 129 shows, far outpacing any year before or since. The group tends to tour seasonally, with big events taking play on New Year's Eve. Almost 35 years later, the band continues to hit stages across North America for multi-day stints as well as one-off performances.

In the past, Phish musical costumes have included The Beatles’ “White Album” (1994), The Who’s “Quadrophenia” (1995), Talking Heads’ “Remain in Light” (1996), The Velvet Underground’s “Loaded” (1998), The Rolling Stones’ “Exile on Main St.” (2009), and Little Feat’s “Waiting for Columbus” (2010).

Phish Festivals

Over the course of the band’s career, there have been just a handful of Phish festivals. These multi-day events have been held at venues all across the country, and sets have been known to go late into the night each day of the festival. The first Phish festival, dubbed The Clifford Ball, took place in 1996. Other notable festivals hosted by this Vermont jam band include 1997’s The Great Went, 1999’s Big Cypress, 2009’s Festival 8, and 2015’s Magnaball.
