At long last, Phish has announced the fate of its scheduled 2021 summer tour dates, initially pushed to 2021 from last year as the pandemic picture worsened.
The combined Summer + Fall Tour will feature many of the 2021 dates that were initially rescheduled from 2020, with others canceled or shifted to later in the year. The West Coast shows that were originally in July have now been rescheduled for before Labor Day or late October. If you have purchased tickets from an authorized sales channel (Ticketmaster, Phish Tickets, CID or venue websites), you will have until June 10th, 2021 to request a full refund if you cannot attend the new date(s). These ticketing partners will be contacting all buyers shortly with further instructions.
The rescheduled 2021 Phish tour will begin in Arkansas on July 28th. As the announcement states, “For most of the shows that are not newly announced, a limited quantity of tickets are available now via Phish Tickets as a real-time sale (while supplies last), as well as at public outlets such as Ticketmaster. A limited number of Travel Packages have been released for George, Lake Tahoe, and Commerce City show dates. In Atlantic City, Foundation Tickets as well as Travel Packages are now available here.”
Of note, the previously scheduled shows at Atlanta’s Piedmont Park and Hershey, PA’s Giant Center have been canceled, and refunds will be issued automatically via point of purchase. In their place, the band has announced 2021 performances in Alpharetta, GA and at Hersheypark Stadium in addition to a slew of West Coast fall dates culminating in a four-night run in Las Vegas for Halloween. Other highlights of the newly announced fall tour include Phish’s first show in Arizona since 2003 and the band’s first show in Sacramento since 1996.
A ticket request period for the newly announced shows is now underway at tickets.phish.com and will end Monday, May 17th at 10:00 a.m. ET. Tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, May 21st at 10:00 a.m. ET. Travel packages for Las Vegas will go on sale on Thursday, May 20th at 1:00 p.m. ET here.
While the shows were not announced with specific capacity limits or social distancing protocols, the announcement asks fans to “stay healthy and safe, and please get vaccinated if you haven’t already!”
