Phish added new dates to their summer 2025 tour, including a pair of shows in a brand new venue fans will be eager to enjoy.

The legendary jam band will perform two nights at Birmingham’s new Coca-Cola Amphitheater: Saturday, Sept. 13 and Sunday, Sept. 14, resuming the summer tour following the band’s three-night stretch at the Broadview Stage at SPAC in Saratoga Springs, New York in late July.

Tickets for the Birmingham shows go on sale next Friday, June 13 at 10 a.m. at LiveNation.com. Each show will begin at 7 p.m.

The band will perform during a busy football weekend in Alabama, coinciding with the Saturday that Wisconsin plays the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa and Auburn hosts South Alabama inside Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Other additional summer 2025 dates include two shows (Sept. 16-17) at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, Ga., and a three-night run (Sept. 19-21) at Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Va., to close the tour.

The globally popular quartet from Vermont features guitarist Trey Anastasio, bassist Mike Gordon, drummer Jon Fishman and keyboard player Page McConnell.

Still one of the most popular touring acts in the world who have also sold millions of records, Phish last performed in Alabama in July 2023, when the band visited Orion Amphitheater in Huntsville for a two-night summer tour kickoff.

“As a guitarist, Anastasio is underappreciated outside the jam-band world,” AL.com’s Matt Wake wrote about the Huntsville show. “During the band’s first of two sets at their summer tour opener, he did some acid-blues Hendrix-y stuff that shook my soul. Other times his lines were endearing playfully, skipping between the groove like a dragonfly skimming water surface. It takes a special guitarist to make around thousands of people achieve ecstasy at the same time.”

Prior to that, in 2022, they played a three-night run at The Wharf Amphitheater in Orange Beach.

The September shows will mark the 18th and 19th times Phish will have played Alabama.

In March this year, Anastasio gushed about the state and his history here. During his set inside Birmingham’s historic Alabama Theatre, the jam band icon reminisced about the state where Phish played their first of 17 shows more than three decades ago.

“Thank you for having me. I’m so happy to be back. I love this state so much,” said Anastasio, 60, holding an acoustic guitar while sitting in a wooden chair with a single spotlight fixed on his position on stage. “I think we’ve been coming here since 1990. The first time that I played in Alabama, not Birmingham but in Tuscaloosa.”

Sure enough, the eclectic, beloved guitarist and songwriter knows his personal history in Alabama. Phish played their first show at Solomon’s on the Strip on Oct. 20, 1990, a two-setter bookended with a “Funky Bitch” opener and the group’s epic “You Enjoy Myself” to close.

The new Coca-Cola Amphitheater, located just north of Uptown and Top Golf, is nearing completion ahead of an already full slate of more than a couple dozen artists booked to perform through the end of October.

Currently on the calendar are Dave Matthews Band (June 24), Def Leppard (June 25), Thomas Rhett (June 27), Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit (June 28), Luke Bryan (July 19), Alabama Shakes (July 26), Rod Stewart (Aug. 2), James Taylor (Sept. 10), Nelly (Sept. 18), Jason Aldean (July 26) and more.
