Trey Anastasio has announced free livestreams for his upcoming three-night Beacon Jams residency for free and raise money for Divided Sky Foundation via donations, mirroring the format of the pandemic-era livestream-only original series from five years ago.
The three-show November 2025 run, which will celebrate the fifth anniversary of his historic 2020 Beacon Jams residency at New York, NY’s storied Beacon Theatre on November 28th, 29th, and 30th, 2025, will air for free via both LivePhish and nugs. nugs All Access subscribers can also watch the livestreams on mobile, Roku, and Apple TV. [Not a nugs All Access subscriber yet? Get started here to access nightly livestreams from a long list of artists.]
Much like the pandemic-era Beacon Jams, during which Anastasio performed livestream-only shows to an empty Beacon Theatre over the course of eight Friday nights, the live Beacon Jams will feature Anastasio in a range of formats each night, including performances with the Trey Anastasio Band and the return of The Rescue Squad Strings. Proceeds from the shows will benefit the Divided Sky Foundation (DSF), the nonprofit co-founded by Anastasio using the funds donated by fans during the 2020 series.

During the Beacon Jams in the fall of 2020, fans contributed more than $1.2 million to help open a recovery center dedicated to treating those affected by addiction. Through their generosity, the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program was born. Opened in November 2023 in Ludlow, VT, it has now offered compassionate treatment to hundreds of individuals in a safe, nurturing environment. Rooted in the 12 Steps, Emotional Sobriety, and mindfulness, Divided Sky addresses the root causes of addiction and never turns away anyone due to financial need.
During the height of the pandemic, the virtual residency became a much-needed gathering place for fans around the world during a time of profound isolation. It also found Anastasio reimagining music from across his career via a mix of acoustic and electric performances, unexpected collaborations, and interactive moments with the home audiences that consistently spiraled into the performances themselves (shoutout to Heather McDougal, spatchcocking, Mango Hands, and so forth). The run also introduced the Jeff Tanski-led Rescue Squad Strings, a chamber string ensemble named for the preceding New Year’s Eve’s mishap at Madison Square Garden that accompanied Trey throughout the run.
The 2025 Trey Anastasio Beacon Jams livestreams will begin each night at 8:00 p.m. ET. Sign up here get access and send a message to Trey and Divided Sky by making a donation. Find more information on the Beacon Jams livestreams here.
