Phish is one of the most popular bands amongst college student of all time. It’s also been one of the most mercurial, what with the band’s breakup, frontman Trey Anastasio pleading guilty to felony drug charges, and now (much to the delight and angst of music fans, depending on preference) their return to the music scene.

 

 

Today, the band posted dates for their reunion tour, which will begin in March.

 

 

Rolling Stone reports:

Phish have confirmed their summer reunion tour, the band’s first in five years. After Live Nation accidentally spilled the beans by revealing the famed jam band will play Burgettstown, Pennsylvania on June 18th, more dates continued to stream out. According to the band’s reps, the tour opens with a two-night stand at Wantagh, New York’s Jones Beach on June 4th and 5th. The band will then hit what used to be the Great Woods Amphitheatre outside Boston — a venue which has hosted its share of great Phish shows — on June 6th and head back south for a concert in Camden, New Jersey on June 7th…


Those with keen eyes will notice a bit of a gap between the Asheville show on June 9th and the St. Louis show on June 16th. Is it any coincidence that this year’s Bonnaroo will take place June 11th through 14th, in the town of Manchester, Tennessee which is conveniently situated between Asheville and St. Louis? Despite sources telling Rock Daily Phish will appear at the fest, no official ‘Roo announcements have been made — the initial lineup will be revealed February 3rd — but it’s looking like a safe bet that Phish will be headlining two nights of the festival.


Of course, all this takes place after the band has its official reunion after a four year hiatus by staging a three-night affair at the Hampton Coliseum in Virginia on March 6-8th.

 

Phish fans can check out a video of an airplane writing “Phish Summer Tour 2009” with some of the band’s jamming in the background at the official Phish website.
