Whoa – any further insight into this rumor? Kind of odd that this would surface on the day that the fall tour is announced. Seems more like wishful thinking. But I’d love it to be true, so I’m with ya!
I love MSG, but I prefer AAA as its 40 mins from where I am at Xmas. Typically when the disco biscuits are booked outside of NYC, Phish does Miami as they have the same booking agent — haven’t heard anything that confirms Miami, but just throwing that out there as DB are in ATL. I’d gladly chill in the sun for back to back runs.
don’t think Phish bases their show plans around disco biscuits my friend, nor do they choose their location based on your family xmas. sorry its MSG this year, its been confirmed by multiple sources. enjoy biscuits tho!
What about the link above re the MMA fight on 12/31 at MSG? What multiple sources are you talking about that have confirmed this? No need to name names, but your certitude is contradicted by the one piece of “hard” evidence there is here re MSG’s availability on 12/31/16. Any thoughts? Know this is all idle speculation to kill time before Lockn but…….
As others have said a million times, the MMA event is at the theater at Penn Station, not the main MSG arena. There’s a big difference. Phish plays the MSG arena, String Cheese plays the theater which is 10 times smaller. The size you’d need for say…… an MMA event! Phish is at MSG for NYE. Don’t believe it if you don’t want of course, everyone is just trying to help you make plans.
Talked to a couple of the guys backstage at Dick’s this past weekend. I can assure you the NYE run is happening, it’s happening at MSG, and it’s happening 12/28 – 12/31.
I don’t know…this guy seems pretty confident. Another guy chimed in and said he heard the same thing. This guy knew about the MN and Wrigley shows in January so there may be some merit. We shall see.
To clarify, this guys seems confident that there will be a 13-show msg stand in late summer/early fall? I really hope you’re not trolling me, because I will go to all 13 of those shows.
Phish needs 17 more shows there to tie the Grateful Dead’s record of 52 concerts there, most for a band (not the Billy Joel most concerts period record).
Why won’t the phish.com website process ticket requests for MSG? Doesn’t matter how many tickets I put in, 1 or 4, it says something like “your request could not be processed to give everyone an equal opportunity” Whats up?
christ.
Msg again I hope not time for something new
Time for something new? Please. MSG Phish has been a staple since 90’s.
No punctuation. Read it how you wish. I hope (not time) for something new.
No way!!! Dont fix if aint broke!
Love it!!!

I am hearing Dec Wed 28th- Sat 31st
why TF would they play 1/1?
Can’t we at least get through one day after fall tour announcement before we start throwing crap against the wall?
there might be MMA thing at the garden on the 31…

In the MSG Theatre
http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/7/31/12335240/wsof-plans-dec-31-date-for-the-theater-at-madison-square-garden
Thats the Theatre
Worcester is a possibility
MSG Will Be CHECKING LICENSES. No out of state residents will be permitted in the venue. Don’t waste your gas money.
?
Where’d this come from? You’re scaring me man – I’m planning on flying 1/2 way around the world for these shows
Assuming they’re trying to discourage people from coming, therefore making it easier to get tickets.
Bring Indio back for Nye please!
Sources?

What are your sources that it’s been confirmed by?

Again, the MMA event is in the MSG THEATRE. Different venue!

MSG was “confirmed” by the source who posted Fall Dates in April at about 90%+ accuracy, if that helps. I’d say its a lock.

Phish at MSG for NYE – not surprising to anyone. Great tradition at this point!
How about playing SPAC for NYE for a change?
Its gonna be cold cold cold cold
WWE is at AAA on the 30th and the Heat have a home game on the 1st
Msg confirmed by phish royalty crew. NO doubt bout it

Phish at The Garden=BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER!! EVERY TIME!!!!
I heard from a super realiable source that Phis hbooked the Mandarin Hotel in NYC for rive days in late December. Guys never been wrong.
Let’s GOOOOOOOOOO
need it, lets do it…also will be looking for my friend Molly up there!
Someone on PT is claiming that Phish will do a 13 show stand at MSG…summer or early fall. Not a NYE rumor, but venue rumor.
Please don’t even tell me that, I’m gonna cry. I’d pawn half my family for this.
I mean, it’s clearly BS, but still

Still Waiting
Stillll waiting
herman said that the band will play an assortment of notes when they actually play somewhere
Are you going to post the 13 night MSG run rumor?
Phish needs 17 more shows there to tie the Grateful Dead’s record of 52 concerts there, most for a band (not the Billy Joel most concerts period record).

Sounds to me like you’re a ticket broker
I’m not.
