Live & Listen's Phish New Year's Pre/After-Party Guide December 29, 2015 14:10

As we prepare for an amazing four nights of Phish in New York City, it is no secret that an overwhelming amount of after-parties are available as potential landing spots upon leaving Madison Square Garden.  Most are located within simple walking distance of MSG, and the lineups each night could not be more enticing.  Many of the hottest rising acts in the festival scene, such as Snarky PuppyDopapodThe New Mastersounds, The Motet, Particle, and Pink Talking Fish (just to name a few), will all be potential options as the massive crowd empties into the streets of Manhattan on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night.  

We've laid out each of the after-parties (as well as a few pre-parties) that we have come across below.  If you're looking for a great place to pre-game and/or watch a free stream of each Phish show, look no further than American Beauty (251 W. 30th Street), who will be serving free pizza with each drink purchased, as well as live music following the Phish stream each night. 

 

Disco Biscuits: Late Night Sets: 12/30 - 1/2

  

While not listed as "official" Phish after-parties, you can catch late night sets from The Disco Biscuits each night at the PlayStation Theatre in Times Square.
