Phish performs three nights in Albany to support the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program

Phish have announced a benefit concert series set to take place over three nights from October 25-27 at MVP Arena in Albany, NY. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program and its newly opened facility in Ludlow, Vermont. Today's concert announcement comes after the funk quartet wrapped up its 2024 summer tour on September 1 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado. It was the group's four-night follow-up concert, following the success of their 11th festival appearance.

The upcoming benefit concerts will raise funds for the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program, a 501c(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to addiction treatment. Conceived and founded by Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio after his own sobriety, it provides a safe and supportive environment for 46 guests to address and work toward sobriety from substance abuse.

Located in a newly renovated former hotel with views of nearby Okemo Mountain, Divided Sky's facility harnesses its power to a non-clinical, 12-step-based program that promotes emotional sobriety and mindfulness. According to the band's official press release, “the Albany benefit concerts will allow Divided Sky to continue to make its comprehensive Residential Recovery Program affordable to all, with partial scholarships available to those who can demonstrate it.”

A limited number of free thank you tickets will be given to rehabilitation professionals to recognize their important work in supporting individuals and families struggling with addiction. Anyone working in rehabilitation or a related mental health field can request tickets at DividedSky.org/benefit. Geographic priority will be given to New York State and New England.

Additionally, curated experiences may be available for those who wish to make larger philanthropic donations to the Divided Sky Foundation. For more information, email [email protected].

The upcoming benefit series follows a milestone year for Phish, who recently released their 16th studio album, Evolveand successfully continued its festival format last month. The band will also return to the Moon Palace Cancun for Phish: Riviera Maya 2025. Learn more.
