Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
It's not exactly a shocker that Phish is coming back to Colorado for a three-night stand at Dick's Sporting Goods Arena this summer. Nor is it surprising that jam-band fans are elated. And it may be even less surprising that people who hate jam bands got cranky when we announced that Phish would be back in town.

Steven adds:
Oh joy.... more Midwest broke ass people, who somehow can afford tickets and drugs, must be elated....
Ben chimes in:
It would be more of an announcement if they didn't play these dates...
