I don't think they have the contract finalized with the folks in Indio yet. I have a friend that works for UNLV Tickets that told me Sam Boyd Stadium was being held as a back-up location.

What I always heard was the Coachilla site in CA was where they wanted to hold it, Vegas was the back up in case negotiations fell through. Then again Phish rumors are rarely true.

Holy schnikes! At least my hotel reservation can be canceled until 10/1 or something.

Vegas then? I dunno what to think at this point.

Re: So, um... Phish is back

Kinda sneaky, but if you hit ctrl ++ a few times, you'll see that California is floating above the map. Don't know if it was just laziness on the webmasters part, or if its intentional. I wouldn't cancel anything for CA just yet

edit for screenshot:

Ok, here's the deal. Yes, the festival was supposed to be in Indio. That is true. But two weeks ago, Phish received a call from the estate of Jimi Hendrix. This summer is the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, and they thought it would be a fitting tribute to Jimi to have Phish cover the exact set that he played.

The plan was for this festival to be in Indio, but Jimi's brother Leon got into some legal problems and he's currently unable to leave Washington State. Phish really wanted him there for the set, so they reserved Husky Stadium as a backup plan. However, they were worried about the weather and the chance that fans would get rained on.

What they wanted to do was to play Safeco Field and close the roof, but the Mariners have been playing too well and there was a chance that the stadium would be in use. The recent slide in the standings made Phish pretty confident that they will be able to move the show come October. So the plan is that the event will be released on Monday as a 3 show festival at Husky Stadium, but the contracts have been signed so in mid-September, the shows can be moved when the Mariners get eliminated.

Once this was all explained to me, it made perfect logical sense. Who could doubt this?

Well - I certainly wouldn't mind missing that.

However, I'm still holding out hope for three nights at the Xcel Center in Saint Paul!
