UPDATE: Yesterday, two Phish tour dates were finally confirmed: June 18 in Burgettstown, Penn., and June 6 in Mansfield, Mass. According to Billboard, Phish has revealed some more dates. The band’s summer tour is set to kick off June 4-5 at Jones Beach in Wantagh, N.Y. Other stops include Camden, N.J. (June 7), Asheville, N.C. (June 9), St. Louis (June 16), Noblesville, Ind. (June 19), and East Troy, Wis. (June 20-21). Phish is also rumored to be headlining this year’s Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tenn. (June 11-14). The Bonnaroo lineup is supposed to be revealed Feb. 3.
In other phantastic Phish-related news, the band is releasing a seven-DVD set featuring 1996’s Clifford Ball, a two-day Phish-only fest held on a decommissioned Air Force base in Plattsburgh, N.Y. The entire event encompasses six sets and nine hours of music, and comes out March 3.
See some Clifford Ball video after the jump.
