The Philadelphia Flyers will host the first-ever \u201cPhish Night at the Flyers\u201d at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Thursday, January 8, when the Flyers host the Toronto Maple Leafs at 7 p.m. This special Phish-themed night features special experiences, including a pregame concert by Rift and a limited edition, one-of-a-kind co-branded Phish-Flyers T-shirt. WMMR\u2019s Casey Boy from the Preston & Steve show will host the pre-game concert.<\/p>\n
Flyers fans and Phish fans interested in attending \u201cPhish Night at the Flyers\u201d must purchase tickets through the special ticket package link here<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Philadelphia Flyers and Phish both have tremendously loyal and passionate fan bases that have intersected over the past several decades with historic live shows at the arenas we\u2019ve called home,\u201d said Flyers Chief Revenue and Business Officer Todd Glickman. \u201cFrom the Flyers faithful to the Phish fans, I cannot wait to see everyone come together under one roof at Xfinity Mobile Arena to \u2018surrender to the flow\u2019 on January 8.\u201d<\/p>\n The Flyers and Phish have a decades-long connection. Before the band performed at the Flyers original home, the Spectrum, for the first time (Dec. 15, 1995), the band visited the team\u2019s training center to meet members of the team. Prior to the show that evening, guitarist and vocalist Trey Anastasio wore a Flyers #10 John LeClair jersey, much to the delight of the fans in attendance. Two of Phish\u2019s historic performances at The Spectrum are available on the album, The Spectrum ’97, which captures the band at the classic venue during a fall ’97 apex and celebrates a standout two-night stand across 33 songs. The band also has an interesting history at Xfinity Mobile Arena, performing the National Anthem before two Flyers games there in 1997 and 1999, and later playing back-to-back shows over Thanksgiving weekend in 2009.<\/p>\n Every ticket purchased through this special ticket package link<\/a> includes a commemorative Flyers x Phish T-shirt and entrance to a pregame concert by Rift. A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Waterwheel Foundation.<\/p>\n
