Phish hasn’t played in Tampa Bay since November 1995, but its eclectic frontman Trey Anastasio has been to the area as recently as 2019. Still, this show sold-out pretty quickly.

The 60-year-old is currently on a solo, acoustic run (which may have been partially inspired by one of his COVID masterpieces, 2022’s Mercy), but he still brings the spirit of the ever-eccentric jam band with his ever-changing setlists, outlandish guitar skills, and pedalboards to make it feel like you’re with the band at Madison Square Garden on New Year’s Eve again (unless you prefer Billy Joel, which is cool too).

There are no tickets available for Trey Anastasio’s Friday, March 28 concert at Clearwater’s Ruth Eckerd Hall.

UPDATED 03/27/25 4:30 p.m. Updated the headline because the show is in Clearwater, not St. Pete. Sorry, guys!
