Phish Will Ring In 2025 With Four New Year’s Shows at Madison Square Garden
Phish will be back in their happy place in December when they set up shop at New York’s Madison Square Garden From Dec. 28-31. The jam band legends announced the gigs on Tuesday (Oct. 1) in an Instagram post where they noted that the visit will bring their total number of MSG plays to date to 87.
The ticket request period for the four gigs is open now here and will run through Oct. 7 at noon ET. A general onsale will kick off on Oct. 11 at noon ET.
The band is gearing up for their end of year gigs with a three-show run at New York’s MVP Arena from Oct. 25-27, with proceeds going to singer Trey Anastasio’s rehabilitation facility Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program. The facility is a personal project for the singer/guitarist, who is 17 years sober. In late 2023 he opened the facility in his native Vermont with the caseworker who helped him after a 2006 arrest for heroin possession and DWI.
“Some people need longer than others. There’s a staff that assesses the condition that your loved one is in, and some people would come 20, 30 days, other people might need 90,” Anastasio said of Divided Sky. “It’s based on your individual situation. Some people might need longer and that’s perfectly fine.”
Earlier this year, Phish became the second resident band at Las Vegas’ immersive Sphere venue, putting on an eye-popping spectacle across four shows as the follow-up to the building’s first resident band, U2.
