Friday morning our friends over at Hidden Track broke the news that Phish would be playing the "Fourmile Canyon Revival" at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, CO on the eve of their Colorado run at the same venue. The veteran progressive rockers join a lineup with the likes of String Cheese Incident, Big Head Todd & The Monsters, Yonder Mountain String Band, and Leftover Salmon's Vince Herman and Drew Emmitt. By midday Phish.com officially announced the gig listing the band members individually and not simply as "Phish." As of now, the sound speculation is Phish will just sitting-in with the other bands. Personally, I feel a warm buttery acoustic set from the Vermont quartet would be appropriate. -Justin

Official Phish.com announcement:

Colorado's music community comes together for "Fourmile Canyon Revival," a remarkable night of music to raise funds for individuals and families directly affected by the devastating Fourmile Fire near Boulder. The benefit concert will take place on Saturday, October 9th at 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, CO.

Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon, Page McConnell and Trey Anastasio will take part in the event, on the eve of their fall tour.

Colorado was the site of Phish's first extended tour outside of the Northeast, and the band has always felt a deep connection to the community. The event features The String Cheese Incident, Big Head Todd & The Monsters, Yonder Mountain String Band, and Leftover Salmon's Vince Herman & Drew Emmitt.

All proceeds will go directly to the Boulder Mountain Fire Relief Fund. The Fund supports the local volunteer fire departments that courageously fought the recent fire and the mountain residents whose lives were directly impacted by this disaster and are in critical need of financial support.
