Phish Tickets - Phish Plans End-of-year Blowout In Florida
Resilient jam band Phish illuminated the stage in Indio
, Calif. this Halloween at their long-hailed tradition Festival 8, and now the rockers will continue to spearhead blowout events - namely the upcoming four-night stand in Miami to ring in 2010. The band recently announced a four-night extravaganza in true Phish style set for late December, and the rockers will be bringing their heralded antics to Miami's American Airlines Arena for a slew of concerts from Dec. 28-31, 2009.
Phish tickets are on sale now online for the band's upcoming New Year's bash in Miami, and the four-night concert series in the sizzling South will even include a three-set gig on New Year's Eve, helping Phish phans say goodbye to 2009 in style. This will mark the first time since 2003 that Phish has played a New Year's show, and the upcoming set of performances is sure to beat any New York City gala this year.
Phish, the ultimate jam band from the depths of Vermont, is currently on the road in support of the group's latest studio album Joy, the first release from the Trey Anastasio-led supergroup since 2004. The album, released in August with the help of Anastasio and band members Page McConnell, Jon Fishman and Mike Gordon, was an instant hit on the Billboard charts, and Phish's current national tour has done nothing but bolster this rock band's homecoming and thrust the crew back into the limelight.
The eclectic-sounding Phish is now regaining speed on top of the music scene, but only after making a premature exit from the business in 2004, when band members announced they were calling it quits. Now, more than five years after an early departure, Phish is back with more force than ever, and 2009 has been one incredible year for the rockers, which might have something to do with why the jam band wants to celebrate New Year's Eve like it's 1999.
The free-form rock 'n' rollers known as Phish experienced their first drops of sweet success in the mid-'80s, after forming a cult following while jamming around their college campus at the University of Vermont. The early stages of Phish were formed in 1983, and by 1988 the jazz-infused rockers had pumped out their very first album, Junta.
Word of mouth ran rampant about this up-and-coming jam band, and it was 1994's Hoist that propelled Phish into the mainstream spotlight. Quickly becoming known as one of the best live bands in the nation, Phish took songs like "Farmhouse," "Wolfman's Brother" and "Piper" straight to the spotlight, soon becoming the biggest craze for hacky sack-kicking hippies across the country.
The early 2000s proved to be a tumultuous time for band members, however, and in 2000 Phish announced an extended break. Pressured back into the spotlight, however, the musicians made a comeback soon thereafter, playing live shows off and on through 2004, when Phish released the album Undermind and subsequently broke up for good - or so fans thought.
In the winter of 2009, rumors mounted about a possible Phish reunion tour, and in March those speculations were confirmed, as Phish kicked off a series of three sold-out shows in Virginia at the Hampton Coliseum. This freewheeling jam band has been on a roll ever since, releasing an album full of new tunes and hitting all the country's biggest stops on a national tour that has followed. Phish is still touring the U.S. on one of the most popular tours of the year, and phans of the megaband already can't wait to see what the everlasting Phish comes up with in 2010.
