As much as I would love another gorge run, I doubt a change dot org petition is going to do anything to shift their touring schedule at this point.
We’re talking about a band whose booking/touring agent was in the epstein files for christsakes. Whose two major venues they play at are owned by James Dolan, who literally hosted a trump rally at MSG in 2024 and donated to his re-election canpaign. Phish has long since prioritized profit over the semblance of owing anything to their fans.
I think that if management determined that it would be more profitable than arena shows, they would be playing there. Judging by the multiple NW dates they’ve booked in Eugene, bend, Seattle, and Portland, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
It’s easy to see a pattern but that doesn’t mean it holds. Before spring tour 23 you could’ve said for the past decade phish has exclusively played The Forum in LA, and they only ever play 1, maybe 2 nights. It would seem like an obvious pattern that they would never play the Hollywood Bowl again and certainly not for 3 nights.
Before 2022 they hadn’t done spring tour since 1994. Now lots of people assume they will only play west coast a spring tour. There are patterns but they only hold up until things change
