Festival 8, the Halloween desert festival hosted by Vermont jamband, Phish, was released as a 3D movie on April 20th in select cities. Phish 3D will open nationwide on April 30th for a week.
Festival 8, held at the Polo Grounds in Indio, CA over Halloween weekend in 2009 featured 8 full sets of music from Phish including a Halloween set of the Rolling Stones’ album “Exile on Main Street” and a full acoustic set on Sunday morning. The festival offered a auditory and visual experience that left concert goers smiling from ear to ear and begging for more at the same time. Phish, who took a long hiatus prior to the 2009 tour season, was welcomed back with open arms by devoted phans and even won back a few that strayed from the flock with a brand new album, “Joy”, and a new and improved Trey Anastasio fronting the band.

With camera angles from both the stage and the audience, the Phish 3D movie will toss you in with the 40,000 concert goers as well as show some never before seen exclusive backstage and rehearsal footage.
