Phish fans really aren’t the type that you’d expect would heed a warning to stay away from nature but that’s what Denver officials are counting on. Camping for the band’s Labor Day shows at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City Colorado has been canceled due to local prairie dogs carrying plague-infected fleas. The popular “Shakedown Street” where fans sell food, clothes, souvenirs, and connect for 12-step meetings will not be happening either as it’s usually held on a dirt road near the stadium. Parking on dirt lots has been restricted as well and the venue is arranging shuttles to… Read more »

Well this doesn’t really come as a surprise. It was being deemed “Fyre Fest 2.0,” as more and more reports came out of just how disorganized and a mess Woodstock 50 was becoming. The first sign of a problem was last week when they couldn’t even begin selling tickets because they didn’t have everything set up correctly. I personally tried reaching out for press credentials a while ago–and not only was it impossible to find out who was actually running Woodstock, getting a contact for them even proved more of a mess. You literally couldn’t navigate to find out who… Read more »
