Phish Returns to the Sphere for Nine Shows in 2026

Phish is returning to the Sphere in Las Vegas for an expanded nine-show residency in spring 2026. After their historic four-night debut at the venue in April 2024, the legendary jam band will take over the world's most immersive concert venue across three consecutive weekends: April 16-18, April 23-25, and April 30-May 2.

What Is the Phish Sphere Residency?

The Phish Sphere residency represents a fusion of four decades of improvisational rock mastery with cutting-edge venue technology. The Sphere features the world's highest-resolution LED display and Sphere Immersive Sound—a 167,000-speaker system that creates an unparalleled sonic experience. Phish's approach matches the venue's innovation: during their 2024 run, animations and graphics were executed, modified, and manipulated in real time alongside their trademark improvisation.

Who Is Phish?

Phish—Trey Anastasio (guitar, vocals), Mike Gordon (bass), Page McConnell (keyboards), and Jon Fishman (drums)—has been at the forefront of improvisational rock since forming at the University of Vermont in 1983. Over four decades, they've built one of music's most dedicated fanbases through marathon live performances where no two shows are ever alike. GQ has hailed their career as perhaps the most singular and stubbornly idiosyncratic of any major American rock band.

The band's commitment to musical exploration is legendary. During their 2024 Sphere debut, they performed 68 songs across eight sets with zero repeats. As guitarist Trey Anastasio told the Associated Press: "We've never repeated a set, and we didn't want to start now."

The Historic 2024 Sphere Run

Phish became only the second act ever to perform at the Sphere when they played four sold-out nights in April 2024, following U2's 40-show opening residency. Critics and fans were spellbound by the groundbreaking performances. The band's improvisational approach merged perfectly with the venue's immersive technology, creating truly one-of-a-kind visual experiences that soared in tandem with the music.

Why Nine Shows in 2026?

The expansion from four shows to nine demonstrates both Phish's ambition and the overwhelming demand from phans worldwide. Spread across three Thursday-through-Saturday weekends, the residency allows dedicated followers to experience multiple unique performances while exploring everything Las Vegas has to offer.
