POWER OUTAGES AFFECTING PARTS OF TORONTO
LEADS TO POSTPONEMENT OF TONIGHT’S PHISH SHOW

It is quite clear that despite the flooding in Toronto, everything is being done to make tonight’s Phish show, the first show on Canadian soil for the band since 2000, still happen. Live Nation Ontario has just tweeted that, “A power outage is currently affecting a portion of TO. Plans are underway to use temp power to keep the @Phish show proceeding as scheduled.”

The venue’s twitter feed has echoed the same news, and has been active all day providing updates and replying directly to questions being asked.

We will keep you updated on the news as it happens.

UPDATE: Tonight’s Phish show has been postponed until July 22. Here’s the official word from the band:

Due to insurmountable transportation and public safety issues resulting from the power outage in Toronto after severe downpours in the city, Phish’s performance tonight at Molson Canadian Amphitheare has been postponed. The show has been moved to Monday, July 22. All tickets will be honored at the new date. Refunds are available at point of purchase for fans who cannot attend. Phish has been greatly looking forward to their first Toronto appearance in nearly 13 years. Everyone involved worked tirelessly throughout the day and exhausted all options, but ultimately, public safety had to come first. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
