Phish Concert News:
Is Phish headlining Bonnaroo? There's been no official announcement yet, but rumors have been swirling for weeks. And with details about the band's reunion tour showing up on Billboard.com today, the possibility of Phish taking over Manchester , Tennessee , for the rumored two-night stand is looking more and more likely. As I take a gander at their relatively short list of dates, there seems to be a very curious week-long break in between gigs in North Carolina and Missouri — hey, Tennessee is even located between those two states — smack dab in the middle of the tour. Now you might say, “Well, these guys are a little older now and they might need a break. They haven't done this in five years!” To that I say, “Shenanigans!”
I'd be willing to bet my limited-edition Phish bobble-head dolls that this “break” will indeed actually be the band's headlining spot at Bonnaroo. First off, Red Light Management, who helped establish the festival, is also Phish's new management company. Think about it: They have one of the biggest touring acts in the country as clients (Phish) and they are co-founders of one of the biggest festivals in the country (Bonnaroo). Do the math!
Additionally, in a recent interview with Burlington Free Press, bassist Mike Gordon opened up about the band's future. “Now it's like, maybe we don't have to have our own festival to make great music. We don't have to do that, and maybe we can be even more a part of the music industry than we were before rather than separate from it.”
So while it hasn't been officially announced (and won't be until February 3, when the initial lineup is released), it's looking very much like Phish's next festival will be named “Bonnaroo.”
Asheville Civic Center North Carolina Venue Information:
The Asheville Civic Center is a 7,654-seat multi-purpose arena in Asheville , North Carolina . It was home to the Asheville Altitude basketball team in the NBDL before the franchise moved to Tulsa in 2005 and the United Hockey League's Asheville Smoke and also the SPHL's Asheville Aces. The Asheville Civic Center also hosted WCW SuperBrawl 1993, WCW Monday Nitro where the famed nWo wreaked havoc over the Ric Flair led horsemen and Fall Brawl 1995 as well as the 1999 and 2000 Big South Conference men's basketball tournament. Commencement exercises for the University of North Carolina at Asheville were last held in the venue in 1999.
The city of Asheville and State of North Carolina have been pressured by many in the community to replace or renovate the aging Civic Center with more modern facilities. This debate has been going on for years, with no apparent end. Asheville city council recently passed a measure funding basic maintenance, and has earmarked $1.5 million for the implementation of a "living roof" to replace the aging conventional roof.
The ultimate path for the Asheville Civic Center is still unclear. A complete renovation is still an option. The most popular proposals from the community are to tear down and rebuild in the same location, or to rebuild in an area south of city hall, at the Biltmore Square Mall site, or near the Western North Carolina Agriculture Center .
