LOS ANGELES – Phish is headed to the Coachella Valley for a three-day music festival all its own.
The Vermont-based band announced Thursday the location of its first big event since reuniting earlier this year.
It will take place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif., home of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
The band teased the Oct. 30 to Nov. 1 gig on its Web site for weeks with this cryptic message: “Save the Date.”
The event is named Festival 8 and will see two Phish traditions.
It will feature both enormous outdoor festivals featuring marathon sets, and Halloween shows during which the band will put on a musical “costume” – playing an entire album by another band.
