Phish

Phish is an American rock band known for its musical improvisation and dedicated fanbase, having sold over 8 million albums and DVDs in the United States. After self-releasing their debut studio album, ‘Junta,’ in 1989, Phish went on to establish themselves as a pioneering American rock band, selling over 8 million albums and DVDs in the United States. Formed by guitarist Trey Anastasio, bassist Mike Gordon, and drummer Jon Fishman, with Page McConnell joining as keyboardist in 1985, the stable lineup gained early recognition for their live performances and musical improvisation. These formative years included regular performances at Nectar’s bar, which inspired their 1992 album, ‘A Picture of Nectar.’ Phish signed with Elektra Records in 1992 and continued their ascent with the 1994 release of ‘Hoist,’ featuring the hit ‘Down with Disease,’ which peaked at No.

They also hosted the four-day festival Mondegreen. Continuing their impactful presence, Phish performed two benefit concerts in 2023 for flood victims in Vermont and upstate New York, demonstrating their commitment to community support. In 2025, the band received a nomination for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and made a memorable appearance in a ‘Seinfeld’ parody sketch on ‘Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney.’ Phish is set to return for its ninth Phish: Riviera Maya in 2026.
