Phish 2023

[Grateful69Phish]

Summer Tour (Alpine > Deer Creek > Dick's) late August/early September

I’d be pretty pumped with this.

Same same ^^

that's a winner

I don't see how msg happens
Mike has shows in June (last booked is 6/29)
Shania twain booked at msg 7/11, Billy Joel 7/24 and Sam Smith 8/8

So maybe August in a run up to dicks would be about all that works

Good point.

just say no to stale donuts

BD II is July 21-August 6, exactly the same dates as the original BD. Friday, Saturday Sunday, day off, Tuesday Wednesday, day off, repeat repeat. Cannot wait!

They gonna break everything down for one night of Billy Joel? I mean it could happen, I hope it happens, but i have my doubts. Would much prefer a traditional summer tour tbh

Kangfirmed?

I hear (no solid source) that it's going to be a "sweet" 16 run of shows from 7/14 - 8/6.

Also heard the 16 shows rumor. I think that rumor started after Harry Styles did 15 shows but I honestly don't think Phish gives a fudge about that and wouldn't push themselves that hard just to one-up him. Also murmurings of "23 in 23" but wven if they did 16 in the summer and 4 for NYE, that's still another 3 shows that need to be shoehorned in somehow.

KBBQ - contracts have been signed but nothing is final until they announce it on .com. They had this same plan in place last year and something similar the year before but all bets are off these days with COVID and other factors. But the spring west coast mini tour seems to confirm more than deny that this is what's happening this summer.

Agreed.

really don't understand the stale donut nontour except for the fact it's easier for the band- they make enough to tour.....

make it harder for the traveler phans- who pay the long term bills ...... ?
lord ...

Rock on to those in that area of the country and the ballers

I'm not that far from NYC in CT and honesty not that excited about another MSG residency. I'd probably still do 3 or 4 nights, but I'm not schlepping down there with crappy seats. It's floor or bust this time around. Officially jaded? Maybe.

With the crazy increases in prices (165 all in for the bowl shocked me this am) I think they will have a tough time filling the garden for 13 16 23 shows in July/august even if they do get it scheduled. Hell, the initial reception of BD1 was luke warm and tix were easily available until the last week or so when fudge became almost Hampton 09 level difficult if you didn't have tix. You will be looking north of 2k for a single ticket request to all shows and that's if they only do 13 (which I still doubt). Now 13 shows at the beacon or rcmh....let's do that if you want to make it special like the 1st run

Personally I think comparing Harry's run there to the BD1 isn't even in their heads. Harry 15 almost identical shows with other bands (pearl jam ) in the midst of the run Apples and oranges

hopefully not BD 2. I want a real summer tour as I'll be off and want to hit the road. And not just 78 to NYC

In late August. So those dates might not matter.
