Phish Albany Run Raises Over $4 Million For Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program

Phish returned to Albany, New York this past weekend for a special three-night stand. The quartet’s first shows at the MVP Arena since 2018 raised over $4 million for the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program and its recently opened facility in Ludlow, Vermont.

All net proceeds from ticket revenues, merchandise sales and livestreams went to the Divided Sky Foundation, a non-profit organization established by Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio to aid those recovering from addiction. The funds from Phish’s visit to Albany launched a $10 million fundraising campaign aimed at supporting capital improvements, future property acquisitions, staff expansion, and a scholarship fund to ensure Divided Sky’s program remains accessible to all in need, regardless of their financial ability.

“It’s hard to put into words how grateful we are to Phish and their fans for this generosity,” explained Melanie Gulde, Program Director and co-founder of Divided Sky. “But this isn’t about words–it’s about action. And because of these concerts, we will be able to help many more people take charge of their lives and to recover from addictions.”
