Phish announces set times and other details for Mondegreen Festival in Dover
More details have dropped on the much-anticipated Mondegreen, a Phish festival set to invade The Woodlands of Dover from Thursday, Aug. 15, to Sunday, Aug. 18.
The jam band has released set times, camping and hotel shuttle options on the official Mondegreen website.
Tickets for the festival went on sale in January, and fans have many pass options to create their own experience.
Unlike Firefly Music Festival, which historically took place each summer at The Woodlands, Mondegreen will not feature any other bands.
Instead, Phish plans to perform eight times over four days.
There also will be interactive fan experiences, art installations, specially curated regional food and drink, plus more.
Mondegreen is defined as "a word or phrase that results from a mishearing, especially of something recited or sung," according to Merriam-Webster.
The first Phish festival was the three-day Clifford Ball event in Plattsburgh, New York, in 1996. That event helped to set the template for the band's future festivals. The new Delaware fest is slated to be the band's 11th self-produced festival.
Phish also recently performed a four-day stint at The Sphere in Las Vegas.
According to the website, camping for Mondegreen opens Wednesday, Aug. 14, at 8 a.m. Other camping details are now available on the site and are subject to change.
The festival officially kicks off at noon Thursday, Aug. 15.
Phish will perform eight sets over the four days of the events, with the concert venue opening for fans three hours before each set time. All times are subject to change, the website advises:
Thursday: 7:30 p.m. (2 sets)
Friday: 7:30 p.m. (2 sets)
Saturday: 7:30 p.m. (2 sets)
Sunday: 6:30 p.m. (2 sets)
Phish fans can purchase a Foundation Pass, which will offer them access to the Foundation Lounge. The Lounge opens at the same time the concert venue opens each day, and shuts down one hour after the show ends, according to the website.
A Foundation Lounge single-day pass costs $300 (including fees) and includes:
Foundation viewing platform
Air-conditioned lounge with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free food options
Cash bar featuring a selection of cocktails, craft beers and wines
Shaded lounge area with seating
