Phish phans and Flyers faithful are about to meet at center ice. On Thursday, January 8, the Philadelphia Flyers will host the first ever Phish Night at the Flyers at Xfinity Mobile Arena, and WMMR’s own Casey Boy from The Preston & Steve Show will be right in the middle of the groove, hosting the pregame concert before puck drop against the Toronto Maple Leafs at 7 pm.
This is not just another theme night. Think of it as a full jam session with skates. Fans who were lucky enough to grab the special Phish Night ticket package get access to a pregame concert by local Phish tribute band Rift, plus a one of a kind co-branded Flyers x Phish T-shirt that is guaranteed to become a lot staple. A portion of every ticket sold benefits the WaterWheel Foundation, so the good vibes will keep flowing well beyond the arena.

The Flyers and Phish share a long and intertwined history. Before the band's first show at the Spectrum on December 15, 1995, the band visited the Flyers training center to meet players. That same night, Trey Anastasio hit the stage wearing a Flyers number 10 John LeClair jersey. Two legendary Spectrum shows from 1997 were later immortalized on the album The Spectrum ’97, capturing Phish at a creative peak in one of Philadelphia’s most beloved venues.
The band came to South Philly to perform the National Anthem at Flyers games in 1997 and 1999, then returning for back to back shows over Thanksgiving weekend in 2009. Now, that history comes full circle with a night that celebrates both slapshots and soundscapes.
