PHISH ANNOUNCES FESTIVAL IN COVENTRY, VT

  • Send to a Friend

Phish will end their 2004 summer tour with a two-day festival named Coventry. The event will take place August 14 and 15 on the grounds of the Newport State Airport and adjacent fields in the rural town of Coventry, Vermont. Coventry is the band's first-ever home state festival, and first public outdoor Vermont appearance since 1995.

Located amidst the rolling hills and lush green valleys of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, Coventry will be Phish's seventh "city-size" festival, with an expected turnout that will qualify it as Vermont's most populated city for the weekend of August 14 and 15. As with all prior Phish festivals, Coventry will see the band performing three live sets each day, with onsite camping as well as numerous attractions and art installations created by teams of talented artists and performers.
