Phish To Bring New Years Run Back To Miami

Today, Phish has revealed they are bringing their annual New Year’s Run back to American Airlines Arena in Miami, FL this year for the first time since 2009. Phish’s 2014-2015 New Year’s Run will begin on New Year’s Eve and also includes performances on January 1, 2 and 3. The Vermonters’ end-of-the-year celebration last spanned into the next year in 2011, when they played a January 1 show at Madison Square Garden in NYC.

The home of the Miami Heat has hosted Phish for four-night New Year’s Runs in 2003 and 2009. This afternoon’s announcement brings a four-year string of New Year’s Runs at Madison Square Garden (2010 -2013) to a close. A lottery for tickets is currently underway at the band’s ticketing site and runs through Sunday, September 28 at 11:59 p.m. Tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning Saturday, October 4 at 10:00 a.m. ET.
