Phish Announce Music Festival

Superball IX

 DISCUSS IN OUR FORUMS

Sensational. Mind-blowing. Fantabulous. 

These are all words with the same amount of letters as SUPER BALL IX. 

It's Phish's biggest. Ball. Ever. So big we can't. Contain it. In one sentence. Super Ball IX, Phish's ninth festival, will take place July 1-3 at Watkins Glen International. Located amidst the rolling hills of central New York's Finger Lakes region, the site offers an abundance of campsites and is just a short drive from numerous Northeastern cities. Super Ball IX will mark Phish's first-ever performance over July 4 weekend, and the first major music festival held at Watkins Glen since 1973's legendary Summer Jam. It is also Phish's first-ever performance at a facility with "Watkins" in its name.

Tickets for Super Ball IX go on sale this Monday, April 4th, at Noon ET at http://superballIX.portals.musictoday.com. Onsite camping is included in the price of admission. Like previous Phish festivals, the event will include numerous activities, attractions and art installations in addition to a series of performances by the band. Camping and travel packages will. Be. Available. (Sorry, hard habit to break.)

Super Ball IX continues a tradition that began with The Clifford Ball in August of 1996. Rolling Stone observed, "It was definitely groundbreaking...there was a real story; that in an age of corporate sponsorship, this completely home-grown thing happened that was different from any other concert." 

Anyone purchasing Super Ball IX tickets will receive a free MP3 download of each set the band plays during the weekend from livephish.com, where they'll be available shortly after Phish finishes lip-syncing steps off stage.

SuperBallIX.com and Phish.com will be your main source for all things Ball. We've posted the first wave of information about the festival and will continue to update with Travel info, FAQs, Guidelines, Event Info, the hottest celebrity news, and much much more, so keep checking back.

The Barr Brothers Mini World Tour

The Barr Brothers

From the Barr Brothers Newsletter:

"The harp is too rare in the blues and the group, very elegant, capable of beautiful velvet like rough cudgel, was already a mature bordering the insolence and had written a gaggle of more popular songs. Woodwork enthusiasts splinter and forests electrified, you are warned: you might love it." 

                                                                        -Les InRocks, France 

Translating a review of your show from French into English is a cute bit of gimmickry that has probably been overused, but it's still the funniest, and possibly most accurate, way to convey the live show experience. Anyone who has been "cudgeled" by a harp might agree. 

We hope you've had a great holiday season filled with love, family and trophies of admiration. For our part, we have dappled the upcoming months with a handfull of performances we'd like to tell you about. First, we will be returning to the Northeast states for a few shows in some of our favorite cities. These include 2 gigs with our good friend Jocie Adams, known for her exquisite work as a member of The Low Anthem.... 

Following that, we'll be heading to Japan for some dates in Tokyo and a few other historic cities. This is terribly exciting for us, as it is nearly impossible to find good Takoyaki octopus dish anywhere in Montreal. We'll be announcing exactly which dates and cities soon. A trip toAustin, TX for South by Southwest in the middle of March is next, where vampires dressed as Betty Page serve you BBQ platters on Rock n' Roll buns. Again, dates and venues will be announced. And to kick off the summer season, Brad will be performing a solo show at The Louvre in Paris on June 17th, as part of a series hosted by French songstress Emily Loizeau. We plan on rounding this out with some Barr Brothers dates in France during that time frame. Stay tuned!

Ozzy - The Bloody Prince of Darkness

Maybe you missed Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath in the 70's, or Ozzy Osbourne post-Sabbath in the 80's and 90's.  Likely you didn't miss him during the 2000's starring in his reality tv program, The Osbournes. With the recent publication of I Am Ozzy, there is a new found interest in the performer side of Ozzy.  He has led one hell of a life coming up from the poverty of a small english town and quickly being thrown into the rock star world. 

Now is your chance to see the Prince of Darkness live, in support of his latest album , Scream. Ozzy is kicking off his tour in Victoria B.C., ending in Minneapolis, MN with dates across Canada.
