Furthur announced their New Year’s Eve plans the other day and will be spending three nights at Bill Graham Civic Center Auditorium in San Francisco when the clock turns over to 2012. I’d put a guess that they’ll have a few special guests over the course of the run and you’ll see a lot of music in those three days if you stay in the Bay Area. Pre-sale tickets go on sale on Monday… READ MORE
We were just about to post the news for the untz fans that Pretty Lights has already announced his plans for New Year’s Eve in Colorado when we saw the Phish NYE news hitting the wires. Seems like fans in Colorado have to make a tough choice on whether or not to stay home for this one… READ MORE
Phish has finally confirmed their plans for New Year’s Eve 2012. The band has updated their website with a huge graphic announcing a four-night run at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on December 28th-31st. You can already request tickets for the shows in the lottery and the window closes on October 24th. READ MORE
Big Gigantic announced a 4-day Colorado run in January to start the new year after rocking New Year’s Eve in Chicago with The Polish Ambassador; the band is about to hit the road for a tour starting at IU in Bloomington, IN and there’s a chance to meet and greet with the band if you help them street-team/social-media style and repost their Facebook status update. Then they’re playing two nights with Pretty Lights in Oxford, MS…

Disco Biscuits @ Bank of America Pavilion, Boston 9/11/10
Get planning on your NYE folks!
The rumors already started hitting my texts last night with thoughts that Phish may be at MSG for a two-night NYE run with potentially a few other dates ahead of that, but not everyone’s going to be in NYC or wanting to travel around those dates. Or maybe they’ll have some pre-NYE competition (duh) with the likes of some other pioneers of a side of this scene known as Disco Biscuits, who were smart and got their NYE show announced early. >>>
The Flaming Lips — who have already been covering songs from Pink Floyd’s classic album Dark Side of the Moon — have subtly announced that they’ll be taking their Dark Side tribute a step further. The concert poster (shown above) for their upcoming NYE show at the Cox Center in Oklahoma City includes a small note at the bottom that reads “Starting at midnight: A special performance of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.” That should be killer.
If you can’t be in Oklahoma City for New Year’s Eve, check out our massive NYE concert round-up for plenty of other great options.
We’ve been following this for a while now, but today we have official confirmation that Phish will be playing its New Year’s Eve run of shows at American Airlines Arena in Miami on December 28 – 31.
The band has opened up its pre-sale lottery via Musictoday, so get your ticket requests in sometime before Sunday, November 15 at 11:59 PM, EDT. Tickets are $50 each, except for 12/31, which is $60.
If you’re lucky enough to nab tickets or just want to join the festivities, it looks like Vally Music Travel is offering hotel & shuttle packages for the event.
All very tempting.
So…who’s going to Miami?
Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen a bunch of new shows announced for New Year’s Eve, so we gave our massive New Year’s Eve Round-Up a nice update today.
A few notable additions include: Furthur in SF, Widespread Panic in Hotlanta, and Phish tentatively confirmed for Miami. Lots of good concert options to ring in 2010!
