The Trey Anastasio-led jam-band Phish will once again play on the beach in Atlantic City this summer, and in addition to August 5, 6 and 7 dates at the Jersey shore, the Vermont-born quartet are playing the Mann Center in Fairmount Park on July 19 and 20.

Last August, the band played a three night stand in the sand on the ocean side of the Boardwalk, in rescheduled shows that had been postponed from their original 2020 dates due to the COViD-19 pandemic.

The Phish shows are the second three night concert run on the beach in Atlantic City to be scheduled this summer. The Tidal Wave festival is scheduled for Aug. 12-14, with Luke Bryan, Morgan Wallen and Dierks Bentley as headliners.

A ticket request period (like an online waiting queue ) is now underway at tickets.phish.com, thought Feb. 25 at 12 noon. Tickets for the Atlantic City shows and the Mann shows go on sale to the general public on March 4 at 10 a.m. via ticketmaster.
