Phish will cap off an extraordinary 2009 with four consecutive shows at American Airlines Arena in Miami on December 28th, 29th, 30th and 31s. Phish will perform three sets on the 31st, celebrating its first New Year's Eve show since the band's concert at the same venue in 2003. The group also rang in 2000 in Florida - Phish's Big Cypress show was the largest paid concert in the world on the eve of the millennium.
More than 40,000 fans turned out recently for Festival 8, held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA. Phish played eight sets over the course of the three-day event, which was the band's eighth festival and its first ever on the West Coast. Midway through the festivities, Phish revived its Halloween tradition of covering a classic album by another band, this time narrowing a selection of 99 records down to Exile on Main St., the Rolling Stones' seminal 1972 double album.
