Duh. It’s Phish. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you already know the iconic jam band is taking over the People’s Republic for a three-night run at CU Boulder’s Folsom Field. But did you know tickets are still available? And that we have tons of Phish pre- and after-parties listed in our event calendar. Whether you’re a die-hard Phan or just curious what all the commotion is about, this is going to be a weekend for the history books. See listing for details.
