Phish Fans Flock to Hampton Coliseum for Sold-Out 'Summer Tour 2025' Shows
This weekend, Phish fans will gather at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton for three consecutive nights of sold-out shows. Mayor Jimmy Gray has declared Sunday, Sept. 21, as "Phish Day" in Hampton, recognizing the band's significant presence at the Coliseum. Phish will have performed 27 shows at the venue after this weekend, surpassing the Grateful Dead for the most shows there. The city expects a significant economic impact from the 38,091 tickets sold for the "Summer Tour 2025" shows, with over 90% of tickets purchased from out of the area, estimating a $4.84 million boost to the region.
To commemorate Phish's return to Hampton, St. George Brewing Company has introduced a special "Mothership Golden Ale" beer, paying tribute to the Coliseum and its connection to the band. This unique brew is available at various stores in Hampton, adding to the excitement surrounding the event. Phish's last performance at the Hampton Coliseum was in 2018, and the anticipation for their return is palpable.
WAVY's Markeshia Jackson will be on-site in Hampton to capture the energy and enthusiasm surrounding the shows. Tune in to WAVY TV for her coverage on Friday night, both on-air and online. The community is buzzing with excitement as fans prepare to experience the magic of Phish's music at the iconic "Mothership" venue in Hampton.
