Phish will kick off their 2012 summer tour with a two-night stand at DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts, on June 7 and 8. Concurrent with those shows, the group will stage a headlining performance at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, set to take place June 7-10 in Manchester, Tennessee.
The tour also will include three consecutive dates – June 15, 16 and 17 – at Atlantic City’s 142-acre Bader Field. Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, March 16. Each ticket will include a free MP3 download of that evening’s show, redeemable at www.LivePhish.com shortly after the band leaves the stage. Additional summer dates will be announced later this spring.
Meanwhile, the band has announced a special 3-LP vinyl edition reissue of Junta, their first full-length studio album, which was originally released on cassette in May 1989. The set, which will be pressed onto 180-gram audiophile grade vinyl, is being released in conjunction with Record Store Day on April 21.
