Phish will also play a trio of southeastern dates that will include a return to Birmingham ’s Oak Mountain Amphitheatre on August 24 – the band’s first show in Alabama since its 1999 concert at the same venue.

 

For the second year in a row, Phish will wrap up its summer outing at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, CO over Labor Day weekend (8/31, 9/1 & 2). Convenient onsite camping will be available in the lush soccer fields adjacent to the stadium. Three-day camping/parking tickets will be available at http://phish.portals.musictoday.com/. The campground will open on Friday, August 31, at noon and close on Monday, September 3, at noon. For additional details, please visit http://phish.com.

 

An online ticket request period for the second leg of the tour is currently underway at http://phish.portals.musictoday.com/. Tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, April 27. For details, visit http://phish.com. Ticket prices for each specific date on the tour will include a free MP3 download of the evening’s entire show (a fully mixed soundboard recording) that can be redeemed at www.LivePhish.com shortly after the band steps off stage.

 

No additional Phish dates will be announced for summer or fall of 2012. The summer tour will launch with a two-night stand at DCU Center in Worcester , MA (6/7 & 8). Phish will headline the closing night of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival (6/10) and play three shows at Atlantic City’s 142-acre Bader Field (6/15, 16 & 17).

 

Phish will celebrate Record Store Day (April 21) by releasing Junta, its first full-length studio album, as a Limited Edition Deluxe 3-LP vinyl set. Originally self-released on cassette tape in May 1989, Junta was remastered and rereleased as a double CD and cassette in October 1992, but – until now – has never been heard on vinyl. The set will be available exclusively at participating independently owned record stores and will include a free MP3 download of the entire album (transferred from the new vinyl master).
