REQUEST/PURCHASE TICKETS FOR PHISH DIVIDED SKY BENEFIT CONCERTS
100% of net proceeds from all concert tickets and event merchandise sales will be directed to the Divided Sky Foundation, a 501c(3) non-profit organization dedicated to addiction recovery, and the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program in Ludlow, Vermont. Conceived of and founded by Phish’s Trey Anastasio and program director Melanie Gulde, The Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program gives hope to those struggling with addiction by providing a safe, nurturing environment to begin their recovery journey. Housing up to 46 guests, the Divided Sky facility is a newly-remodeled former hotel with a stunning view of nearby Okemo Mountain, offering a non-clinical program anchored in the 12 Steps, emotional sobriety, and mindfulness. The Albany benefit concerts will enable Divided Sky to continue to make its immersive Residential Recovery Program affordable to all, with partial scholarships available to those who demonstrate need.
A limited number of complimentary “Gratitude Tickets” will be made available to recovery professionals, recognizing their essential work helping individuals and families affected by addiction. Anyone who works in recovery or a related mental health field may request tickets at DividedSky.org/benefit. (Priority will be given based on geographic location, with an emphasis on New York State and New England.) Additionally, curated experiences may be available to those interested in making larger philanthropic donations to the Divided Sky Foundation. For details, please inquire at [email protected].
The Albany benefit concerts continue what has proven a landmark year for the band, including their highly acclaimed four-night sold-out run at Sphere in Las Vegas and recent arrival of their 16th studio album, Evolve, available now in all formats – including digital, CD, and double LP vinyl – via JEMP Records/ATO. Phish recently wrapped their annual summer live run, highlighted by Mondegreen, a four-day festival at The Woodlands in Dover, DE. The band’s 11th self-produced festival, Mondegreen was celebrated in a recent GQ feature which hailed Phish for “what may be the most singular and stubbornly idiosyncratic career of any major American rock band.”
Looking forward, Phish recently announced their return to the beaches of Mexico for the 8th annual Phish: Riviera Maya, set for January 29-February 1, 2025 – the first time the event will be held at the end of January following its traditional late February dates. Presented by Playa Luna, the all-inclusive concert getaway will feature four nights of Phish on Mexico’s Caribbean coastline, including an additional set that will complement the special Welcome Performance on Night One, with a total of eight sets instead of past years’ seven. Limited packages are on sale now. For complete information, including booking details and payment plans, please visit phishrivieramaya.com.
