Phish Tour Rumors
According to fans across the web, Phish has been dropping clues throughout their tour announcement video that would indicate their plans for a festival in Hawaii. This is in edition to the inevitable west coast dates that will take place this fall.
“Holding true to rumors, the band declared, in fine print beneath their You Tube video, that ‘no additional east coast dates will be announced this summer or fall.’ This confirmation leaves the door wide open for the all-west coast fall tour that is supposedly in the works. The final piece of buzz from yesterday’s drop came once someone had translated the Chinese announcement video. The man holds up a piece of paper detailing a mission in Chinese, which closes with a reference to James Michner’s historical fiction novel, ‘Hawaii.’ Fans hopped on this nugget right away, speculating that the band may be finally plotting the Hawaii holiday run was rumored in ’99.”
