PHISH ANNOUNCE 8th RIVIERA MAYA - NO FALL TOUR

From the band, via Facebook:

Phish will return to Mexico for its eighth Phish: Riviera Maya January 29 thru February 1, 2025. Join us on the beach for four days and nights of sun, sand and Phish on Mexico’s beautiful Caribbean coast. Note that these 2025 dates are at the end of January, which is earlier than in previous years. This Riviera Maya will also see Phish performing eight sets of music beginning Wednesday night and ending on Saturday night.

Phish: Riviera Maya 2025 packages will go on sale starting June 26 at 2PM EDT at https://phishrivieramaya.com, with a special Alumni Pre-Sale for previous attendees beginning at Noon EDT the same day. Purchasers can take advantage of lower costs from last year for the most popular event packages due to the new January event dates, which also align with more affordable flight options than typically available in late February. For complete information, including booking details and payment plans, please visit https://phishrivieramaya.com.

Phish: Riviera Maya will be hosted at Moon Palace Cancún, providing guests with a wide range of luxury accommodations just steps from the concert venue. Alongside the nightly performances there is a curated array of wellness programming, featuring daily yoga classes, workshops, daytime pool parties and late-night DJ sets to keep the festivities going around the clock. Guests can also explore the stunning natural landscapes and rich cultural heritage of the Yucatan Peninsula. Options for adventure include diving into cenotes, visiting the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza, and sailing on catamarans, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration.

Phish's Summer Tour kicks off next month on July 19 in Massachusetts and will culminate with Phish’s traditional Labor Day Weekend run in Commerce City, CO returning for four nights (August 29-September 1). For those of you looking ahead, please know that Phish will not be touring this fall.
