The question has been asked a thousand times and the answer is finally here. Phish announced today they will end the 'hiatus' and return to the stage, in true creative form. In a unique, inverted New Years Run, Phish will perform at two legendary venues. New Years Eve 2003 at Madison Square Garden in New York City and January 2, 3, and 4, 2003 at Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA. The mothership will take off once again, seemingly bigger than ever.
Official Press Release:
PHISH TO PLAY FOUR CONCERTS
PHISH returns to the stage after an extended hiatus for four concerts beginning with a three-set concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City on December 31, 2002. Following that show, they will perform three nights at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia, January 2,3 and 4, 2003. The band plans to schedule additional tour dates
later in 2003 and will likely record an album sometime next year as well.
