Today Phish confirmed a show Fenway Park on May 31, 2009, delighting fans and making public one of the worst kept secrets of the Summer concert season. The Fenway Park Phish show will be the new kickoff stop for the band's early Summer tour and will follow two nights of Dave Matthews Band at Fenway.
As has become the standard, Phish broke the news with a custom Phish Fenway announcement video. The video features images of Fenway Park accompanied by the musical stylings of Red Sox organist Josh Kantor. Stick around for the second half of the clip where you'll find Kantor playing a cool (but too short) arrangement of Tweeprise.
I can't be sure but I think there might also be some kind of hidden message in the announcement video… will take a closer look later :)

Update (April 16, 2009 @ 11:30am) Yesterday a number of fans succeeded in getting Phish Fenway tickets using a leaked Fenway employee presale password (which was “fenphish” in case you were curious). Given that most of these folks are not actually Fenway employees, there's still a chance these tickets will get canceled a la Red Rocks. Meanwhile, today is the season ticket holder presale for Phish Fenway tickets, and again some fans are reporting on message boards that they were able to pull tickets. For the rest of us, tomorrow beckons.
Update (April 18, 2009 @ 9:01am) Etix = fail. Site totally crashed about 1 second after the Phish Fenway ticket onsale time. Oh well.
Update (April 18, 2009 @ 10:00am) Phish tickets for Fenway are sold out. Search for secondary market Phish Fenway tickets on Jamtopia.
