Are you a Phish fan who didn't get Red Rocks tickets?
Did you get tickets and want safe camping & transportation?
No worries. We have you covered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swooping in to fill the void for ticketless Phish fans is the just
announced Phamily Reunion four day camping and music festival to be
held on private property nearby Red Rocks in Colorado at Idaho
Spring's Van Eden Ranch. With
a lineup of well known touring festival acts such as the New
Mastersounds, the Heavy Pets, EOTO, Lynx & Jamie Janover, Ana Sia, YAMN and local band on the rise,
White Water Ramble (with more performers yet to be announced) this
nearby festival occupying the same four days in August should perk the
ears of Phish fans left out in the cold.
It goes without saying that the law enforcement presence to crack down
on loitering and illegal camping will be highly visible at this year's
four night stand of Phish at Red Rocks. The famously reported rumors
of Phish being banned from Red Rocks were widely reported after the
band's four night stand at Red Rocks in 1996 when members of the
Morrison community complained how many of the band’s fans (many of
whom did not have tickets to the shows) had over run and set up
makeshift campsites all over the the sleepy small town. But it appears
jamband capitalism may have a solution this year.
In addition to serving up four days of music and camping for people
who didn't get tickets to Phish, the festival is also aiming to cater
smartly is offering Red Rocks ticket holders looking for nearby camping single and four day
camping passes that include transportation from the fest to Red Rocks.
I am still
waiting to find out if the curious name of this festival spelled with
the same alphabetical juxtoposition as Phish is merely a coincidence
or not...probably not.
