Phish Add Knoxville Date

Them fun-loving Vermont boys are making it almost impossible to believe they won't be headlining this year's Bonnaroo. If the huge gap in between Phish's tour dates that perfectly aligns with the weekend of Bonnaroo wasn't enough to clue us in to their debut at the Tennessee festival, they have now added a date in Knoxville on the 10th of June, the day before Bonnaroo is set to kick off. Just a coincidence? I highly doubt it. Now let's just hope the rumors of them performing late night at Bonnaroo become true. That might be the only way to top last year's epic rain-soaked late-night Which Stage performance by My Morning Jacket. We can only wait and see!
