Clear your calendars, Phans.
Phish just announced they’ve lined up four New Year’s Eve shows at NYC’s Madison Square Garden from Dec. 28-31.
This quartet of gigs will be the jam band’s 84th, 85th, 86th and 87th (!) concerts at the legendary venue.
Each night, fans can expect Phish a different show complete with “elaborate theatrical ‘gags,’” WRRV reports. “In 2023, the band transported fans to ‘Gamehendge’ with a live performance of guitarist Trey Anastasio’s college thesis, complete with actors, dancers, and intricate storytelling.”
Two months prior to their annual mini MSG NYE residency, Trey Anastasio and co. have another short New York stay in the books.
Starting Oct. 25, the Vermont natives swing into Albany’s MVP Arena for three nights.
All proceeds from those performances will go to Anastasio’s Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program along with its newly opened Ludlow, VT facility.
Phans can purchase single or multi-day passes for all upcoming Phish shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the MSG concerts is Friday, Oct. 11.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

Phish set list
Part of the fun of seeing Phish live is the surprises the band has in store for fans.
Still, it can’t hurt to take a peek at what made the cut recently.
For a closer look, here’s the complete history of what Phish has played live — dating all the way back to their 1983 inception — check out Set List FM.
Phish new music
On July 12, Phish dropped their 16th studio album “Evolve.”
Over 12 tracks, as expected, the band completely surprises. No two songs are alike here; their only connection is the cosmically in-sync ensemble.
Personally, we were most taken with the slinky, bass-y, mysterious “Hey Stranger,” upbeat toe-tapper “A Wave Of Hope” and slow burn of “Monsters.”
Be sure to try the restrained Beatles-esque “Valdese,” too. It’s impossible not to crack a smile while listening.

What’s it like to see Phish live
In December 2023, the New York Post spoke with comedian and Phan Max Fine about what it’s like to attend a Phish concert.
“It’s not like anything you’ve ever seen because it’s never happened before,” he explained.
“Every show is special and unique because they don’t plan for it. You get to be whoever you want at a Phish show.”
