Phish Returns to Dick's Sporting Goods Park: Labor Day Weekend 2026

The tradition is back. Phish returns to Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado for three nights over Labor Day weekend — September 4, 5, and 6, 2026. After a one-year detour to Folsom Field in Boulder for July 4th weekend in 2025, the band is bringing their beloved end-of-summer residency back to the soccer stadium that has been their Colorado home since 2011.

The Dick's return is part of Phish's 21-date Summer Tour 2026, serving as the grand finale of a run that also features five nights at Madison Square Garden, two nights at Fenway Park, three nights at Ruoff Music Center, and first-ever shows in Savannah, Georgia. A ticket lottery is underway at tickets.phish.com through February 23, with general on-sale Friday, February 27 at 10 AM ET via Ticketmaster.

The Dick's Tradition: 2011 to Present

Phish's Labor Day weekend residency at Dick's Sporting Goods Park has been one of the most reliable and beloved annual events on the live music calendar. The tradition began in 2011 and has continued every year since (with only 2020 missed due to the pandemic). Over those years, the band has accumulated over 45 shows at the Commerce City venue, creating a micro-economy of local businesses, breweries, and dispensaries that cater to the global community of fans who descend on Colorado each Labor Day. The 2022 run even expanded to four nights — a first for the residency. This 2026 return brings the show count to approximately 48 performances at Dick's.

Phish has played more than 100 shows in Colorado since 1988, and the state holds a special place in the band's touring history. Dick's offers a capacity of approximately 24,000 for concerts, and the wide-open venue set against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge creates an atmosphere unlike any other stop on the tour.

In 2025, Phish moved their annual Colorado run to Folsom Field in Boulder for a three-night July 4th weekend series, taking a one-year break from Dick's. The 2026 return signals the revival of the Labor Day weekend tradition that has been a fixture of the Phish calendar since 2011.

What is the Dick's parking lot scene like?

The Dick's parking lot scene is one of the highlights of the Phish experience. Fans travel from across the country to set up camp in the expansive lots, creating a festival-like atmosphere with food vendors, art, music, and community. The lots open well before gates, and many fans treat the pre-show gathering as an event in itself. The Commerce City area has also developed a supporting ecosystem of breweries, restaurants, and dispensaries that cater to the annual influx of Phish fans.

Is there camping near Dick's?

There is no on-site camping at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. However, there are campgrounds, RV parks, and hotels in the greater Denver and Commerce City area that accommodate concert-goers.

What is the elevation at Dick's?

Dick's Sporting Goods Park sits at approximately 5,200 feet above sea level, consistent with the greater Denver metro area. Visitors traveling from lower elevations should stay hydrated and be aware of altitude effects, especially during outdoor September shows. The Colorado sun can be intense even in early September, so sunscreen and water are essential.

What songs does Phish play at Dick's?

Phish never repeats songs within a multi-night run, so each of the three Dick's shows will feature a completely unique setlist drawn from their vast catalog of originals and covers. The band draws from hundreds of songs including favorites like "Tweezer," "Down with Disease," "You Enjoy Myself," "Ghost," "Harry Hood," and material from their 2024 album Evolve. The final night at Dick's often features special moments and surprises.
