The Coca-Cola Amphitheater, which will have a capacity of 9,300, is set to open later this month and marks Phish’s debut at this venue.

In Birmingham, the Coca-Cola Amphitheater is also set to host several major artists over the coming months, with acts such as Dave Matthews Band, Def Leppard, and Thomas Rhett booked through October. The new venue is strategically located near Uptown and Top Golf and aims to establish itself as a premier location for live music in the region.
Historical Context in Alabama
Phish’s connection to Alabama dates back to their first performance in the state on October 20, 1990, at Solomon’s on the Strip. Over the years, they have built a loyal fan base in the region. Guitarist Trey Anastasio has expressed a fondness for Alabama during previous performances, underpinning the band’s positive relationship with local audiences.
With the combination of new venues, a busy football weekend, and a strong historical presence in Alabama, Phish’s upcoming shows are anticipated to be memorable events for fans and will showcase the band’s enduring appeal as they continue to tour the country.
