Phish confirms? New Years Eve in Miami
Found on the program for Phish Festival 8, aka the recently completed three-day music festival in Indio, CA that saw Trey Anastasio and Co. perform eight sets including the bands first ever acoustic set as well as a cover of Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main St in its entirety (w/ Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings providing support), was the following image/advertisement (via Twitter):
Of course, the above isn’t actually an advertisement for four nights of David Bowie (and UB40) in Miami for New Year’s Eve. Rather, it’s a not so subtle reference for the long rumored four nights of Phish in Miami for New Year’s Eve. (Sorry, kids, still no Bowie!) The dates will follow a bunch of other recently announced U.S. tour dates. Tickets go on sale beginning November 20th.

Sickkk…UB40!!!! I think I just flew all they way out to California to see them for 3 days…This ought to be a blast
The 20th date comes from the picture. Look in the top right corner.
you guys are all assholes. Stop hating. Relax.
alex young i feel sorry for you, you obviously did not do your homework
tards…have any of you that commented whether david bowie or ub40 would be playing with phish actually ever listened to phish??
New Year’s in Miami heck yes! My fiance took me to my first Phish show back in March up in Hampton Va it was such an amazing experience. I can’t wait to buy tickets!!!
Yeah, I have no idea why I said UB40. They obviously aren’t playing. But Phish is. So, let’s leave it at that.
“And I have seen no evidence that UB40 is not.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Funny! Alex, I hope to hell you are not serious! If UB40 or David Bowie show up for this concert, I will give you my car. Do you even know who Phish is?
miami is for sure, already got my plane ticket!
miami is for sure, already got a plane ticket
November 20th date can be found in the top right corner of the ad. And yes, this has yet to be officially confirmed by the band, but it has been reported by several Phish fan websites.
I too believe this is Phish’s way of subtly announcing the 2009 NYE run, however, you are printing false information saying that it is confirmed. And I would also like to know where you got the Nov. 20 on-sale date. Please respond.
Haha. Phish fooled Alex. Welcome to our world.

nvr mnd i see it now whooooo hoooooo miami here i come
where did you get the nov. 20th ticket sale date?? i.e. grapevine-website-etc
UB40 and David Bowie are both lyrics in the song David Bowie by Phish. It’s a joke.
Never said Bowie was playing. And I have seen no evidence to say UB40 is not.
… you do realize that neither David Bowie OR UB40 is playing, right?
Listen to Phish before writing articles about them, or at least get your facts straight.
