Phish added an eight-show October 2026 run this week, with the band set to open the leg with three nights in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The dates were posted on the band’s official site on August 4 and were subsequently picked up by tour trackers including TourSetlist. The run also includes two nights in Richmond, Virginia, one night in Jacksonville, Florida, and two nights in Huntsville, Alabama. Fans can request tickets now through the band’s ticketing portal, according to Phish’s announcement. ### Which cities and venues were added? Atlantic City leads the routing. Phish said the tour begins October 2, 3 and 4 at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. The band then moves to Allianz Amphitheater in Richmond for shows on October 6 and 7. Jacksonville is the lone one-off on the schedule. The band is booked for October 9 at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena before closing the run with October 11 and 12 shows at Orion Amphitheater in Huntsville. (phish.com) Glide Magazine, which matched the official routing, described the leg as an eight-show October tour. ### Why is Atlantic City the focal point? October 2-4 is the only three-night stand on the newly announced leg. Phish’s official post said the band will begin the October run with “three nights in Atlantic City” before continuing to Richmond. TourSetlist’s schedule listing also centered on the Boardwalk Hall engagement as the headline addition. (glidemagazine.com) Atlantic City coverage from regional outlets added the local framing. 973 ESPN reported that the Boardwalk Hall dates kick off the band’s 2026 fall tour, while NJ-area coverage carried the same October 2-4 booking window. ### What stands out about the other stops? Richmond marks a two-night return to Virginia. Local coverage carried by MSN said Phish will play two nights at Richmond’s Allianz Amphitheater and described the booking as the band’s return to the city after nearly two decades. (phish.com) Jacksonville is notable because it is Phish’s first Florida stop in years. (973espn.com) In its August 4 announcement, the band said it would be its “first time back in Florida since 2016” with the October 9 show at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. Huntsville closes the leg with another two-night stand, giving the tour a pattern of multi-night markets around a single Florida date. (msn.com) ### How are tickets being handled? August 10 is the deadline for the band’s ticket request window. TourSetlist reported that fans can request tickets through tickets.phish.com until Monday, August 10, at 12 p.m. Eastern. General public sales begin Friday, August 14, at 10 a.m. Eastern, according to the same listing. Ticketmaster’s event-help page for the tour says Phish will perform 17 shows overall and directs fans to the band’s site for current details on start times, ticket limits and presales. (phish.com) That broader count appears to reflect the band’s larger 2026 live schedule rather than only the October leg. ### Where can fans track the next step? (toursetlist.com) Phish’s official tours page is carrying the October routing alongside the ticket-request link. The band’s August 4 post and fall tour page both direct fans to request tickets now and view the tour dates. The next dated milestone is August 14, when general ticket sales open for the October shows. (phish.com) (help.ticketmaster.com)
