Phish sets second leg of U.S. tour

Phish fans who thought the Vermont-based jam band was skipping their neck of the woods will be happy to hear that the quartet have added a lengthy second leg to their upcoming 2012 summer tour. Bring your own trampoline.

This leg of the tour kicks off August 15 at the Long Beach Arena, before they head to San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium for three nights (8/17, 18 & 19), the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, MO (8/22), and — surprisingly — the band’s first-ever show in Oklahoma. That show will take place on August 29 at the Zoo Amphitheatre in Oklahoma City.

The quartet will also play a handful of Southeastern dates, including Birmingham’s Oak Mountain Amphitheatre on August 24 – their first time in the state since 1999.

Like their 2011 jaunt, Phish will wrap up its summer trek with a three-day Labor Day weekend blow-out at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, CO.

Meanwhile, Phish is celebrating Record Store Day (4/21) with a Limited Edition Deluxe 3-LP vinyl re-release of “Junta,” their first full-length studio album.
