Phish Halloween ’09- all but confirmed for Coachella

Jul 21, 2009 by     9 Comments    Posted under: Music

Save the Date looks to be solved.  Apparently one Palm Desert, California hotel might have let the cat out of the bag as to where Phish’s halloween festival is going to be taking place this year.

And a bit more:

Room Rates Details

Up until now, the folks over at Phish.com have been playing a game with all of us, cleverly removing a state (or 5) at a time from a map of the U.S. until the final location was revealed.  There’s but much speculation over on the twitter airwaves, but to his credit, it looks like Grill_Meister eagle eyed this hotel deal in Palm Desert, California at the Hampton Inn and Suites.  Speculation has been circulating for a while that the band would land in Coachella for the late October holiday, but when California was removed from the map a few weeks ago, hopes were dashed.  Apparently, this was just a measure to throw fans off track.

Save the Date

So while it was fun while it lasted, it looks like we can all thank the folks over at Hampton Inn & Suites for this tasty heads up.  Thanks folks!

    Man…why did I read this? Now all the fun has been taken out waiting for the announcement. Crap. I really, really, really wanted this to be in Texas.

    Oh well.

    This is meaningles. The Indio area got booked out very quickly on the intial announcement. This could just as easily be a hotel manager reacting to that event, and everyone booking for the weekend telling him at the time that Phish was playing a 3-day concert there.

    Soory – not chalking this one as mystery solved. And for the record, finding the farm in Georgetown Texas on Google Earth was a MUCH more impressive find.

    Normally Patrick, I’d be right there with you, as I generally tend to be skeptic numero uno. However, the line about including one ticket to the show was the bit that did it for me. Perhaps you’re right….as I’ll fully admit…I’m still checking the phish.com site on a daily basis. ;)
