This Friday and Saturday, Phish returns to the Broadview Stage at SPAC (Saratoga Performing Arts Center) for two benefit shows supporting flood recovery efforts in the band’s home state of Vermont and Upstate New York, but don’t worry if you don’t have a ticket stub in your hand: You can still donate to the cause and stream the shows live free of charge!
“We’re pleased to announce that the shows will be webcast for free at LivePhish.com and Phish’s YouTube channel,” the band announced. “Fans watching the webcast will be given opportunities to donate directly, and 100% of all donations will be directed to The WaterWheel Foundation‘s Flood Recovery Fund. You can donate now [here].”

Phish’s flood recovery benefit shows were announced in July when the band was already in the midst of its summer tour. The late addition was highly unusual for the band and came after communities throughout the Vermont region were inundated with historic levels of rain and major flooding. The shows will mark Phish’s first concerts at the scenic Upstate New York venue since 2019 and the band’s 23rd and 24th total shows at the venue.
