We wanted to update everyone about ticketing for Phish’s July 19th, 20th and 21st shows in Chicago. The Chicago Plan Commission has approved a reconfiguration of Charter One Pavilion on Northerly Island that will allow for the creation of a General Admission lawn area by opening the venue into the park adjacent to the existing venue.

GA Lawn tickets will be $45.00 ($120.00 for a 3 Day Ticket) and will be available for sale through Ticketmaster when the shows go on sale Friday, March 29th at 10:00am Central.

Phish kicks off its 2013 Summer Tour with its first-ever concert at Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion in Bangor, Maine on July 3, which will be followed by a three-night stand at Saratoga Performing Arts Center July 5-7. The outing will also include the band’s return to Canada in close to thirteen years and their first shows at Northerly Island, a 91-acre peninsula that juts into Lake Michigan and offers a stunning view of the Chicago skyline.

In late October of last year, Hurricane Sandy bore down on the Atlantic seaboard. The result was devastating for coastal areas from the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic to New England and reached as far inland as the Appalachian Mountains and parts of the Midwest and Canada. Storm surge, high winds and power outages that lasted weeks after the storm contributed to loss of life and unprecedented property losses. The coasts of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island were permanently redrawn as the Atlantic reclaimed some of America’s favorite beaches.
