There are few things that make summer truly complete. Along with children being free from worry or responsibility, weather so hot you could cook a roast pig on the pavement, and everyone in short shorts, one such occurrence is a Phish summer tour. And to follow up their gigantic summer 2010 outing, the band is kicking things off with a Memorial Day residency in Bethel, NY. From there, it’s on to summer hot spots like Holmdel, NJ, Columbia, MD, Alpharetta, GA, and beyond before the whole thing winds down on June 19th in Portsmouth, VA. As they did with their fall 2010 tour, ticket prices include a free soundboard recording of the entire concert available here just after the show’s end.

An online ticket request is going down here right now, with general public sales starting March 11th. Stay tuned for more dates and tour announcements as they’re released.
