Phish Festival: Save The Date

Phish.com has just been updated with a graphic advising fans to save the dates of October 30, 31 and November 1 for what will be the first Phish-thrown festival since Coventry in August 2004. As of now, three states in the graphic representing the United States that appears when you visit Phish.com have been blacked out. Those states are Idaho, Oklahoma and West Virgina. Some fans have speculated that as time passes more states will be blacked out leaving only the state where the festival will be held.

Rumors are swirling that the quartet will perform at the Polo Fields in Indio, California where the Coachella and Stagecoach festivals are held each year near Palm Springs, but nothing is confirmed at this point except for the date and the fact that the band will indeed be hosting a festival. Starting on October 31, 1994, Phish concerts on Halloween were three set affairs in which the band would don a “musical costume” in the second set by performing a classic album by another artist. The group played The Beatles’ White Album in 1994, Quadrophenia by The Who in 1995, Remain In Light by the Talking Heads in 1996 and Loaded by the Velvet Underground in 1998.

This announcement leaves fans with a number of questions, so we want to hear from you. Where do you think they’ll play and what album do you think they’ll cover? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

UPDATE: All sorts of theories abound in our comments section. Be sure to read all of the insightful comments from our readers.

UPDATE [7/13 11:30AM]: The latest change to the animation on Phish’s Save The Date map shows California being lifted from the map by three hot air balloons. Is this some sort of trick or are all the people who swore it will be held at Indio wrong? Gotta love this band’s trickster hearts.

Where do you think Save The Date will take place? READ ON to place your vote and to leave a comment telling us where you think it will be…

The Dead Weather & Screaming Females: Terminal 5, New York, NY 7/18/09

Jack White’s newest offering stomped into NYC on a humid July night and crunched to a sold-out-fired-up house in Terminal 5.  This time the “supergroup” comes equipped with Allison Mosshart from The Kills, Dean Fertita from Queens of the Stone Age and Jack Lawrence best known as playing bass in White’s other “supergroup” The Raconteurs.  Before we get to them though, a word or twenty about the opener Screaming Females.
