PHISH Announces Plans to Stage 11th Annual Festival, CURVEBALL
By: Macon Prickett Feb. 26, 2018
Phish is following the recent announcement of their upcoming summer tour by unveiling plans to stage their 11th festival, Curveball. Slated for August 17-19 at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, NY, Curveball will see Phish offering a series of unique live performances, alongside an array of activities, attractions and art installations. Located amidst the rolling hills of Central New York's Finger Lakes region, the festival site offers an abundance of campsites just a short drive from numerous Northeastern cities.
Tickets for Curveball go on sale this Friday, March 2 at 12 noon ET. For weekend passes, camping, on-site accommodations, and travel packages, please visit curveball.phish.com.
Curveball marks the latest epic gathering in an extraordinary tradition first forged by Phish in August 1996 with the groundbreaking Clifford Ball. The 2018 event marks the third Phish festival to be held at the legendary Watkins Glen International, following 2015's Magnaball and 2011's Super Ball IX. Rolling Stone's Jesse Jarnow hailed the former, noting, "At Magnaball, highlights weren't guest appearances, acoustic sets, thrust stages or even big hits, but the nitty-gritty of Phish's music...While Phish continue to be industry leaders, defining and expanding the live-streaming concert market, as with so much in their career, they remain happily on the outside."
Curveball is but one highlight of Phish's eagerly awaited summer run, set to get underway July 17 and 18with a pair of sold out shows at Stateline, NV's Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harveys and then continue through the band's eighth annual Labor Day Weekend residency at Commerce City, CO's Dick's Sporting Goods Park on August 31-September 2.
