Trey Anastasio has announced a two-night solo stand at The Beacon Theatre in New York City. The double feature will see the musician return to the distinguished Upper West Side venue on August 19 and 20 for two consecutive nights of acoustic performance that will employ a new transformative sound system known as Sphere Immersive Sound.  

Sphere Immersive Sound was developed for MSG Sphere at The Venetian, opening in 2023. In a press release shared by MSG Entertainment, they described the new sound advancement as “3D audio beamforming technology to deliver targeted, crystal-clear and uniform audio to every seat in the house – setting a new standard for sound quality in performance venues.” The venue also added that following Anastasio’s concerts, they will continue to use the sound system at all productions that follow the mid-August display.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Trey Anastasio back to the Beacon Theatre, but even more so to have him be the first artist to utilize our incredible new audio technology,” offered Jim Dolan, executive chairman, and chief executive officer at MSG Entertainment. “Trey and his team have always embraced innovation, so it made perfect sense to work with them these last few months on how we begin to introduce Sphere Immersive Sound. This will be an incredibly special acoustic performance, where the audience will truly experience the clarity and purity of his sound,” Dolan concluded. 

The Phish frontman added, “I was lucky enough to experience a demo of Sphere Immersive Sound, and it’s truly unbelievable.” Anastasio continued, “I am thrilled to be able to debut this cutting-edge technology at the Beacon Theatre, one of my favorite venues in the world.” 

Tickets for Anastasio’s concerts on August 19 and 20 at The Beacon will go on sale to the general public on Thursday, July 28, at noon ET via Ticketmaster.com. 

Tickets will also be available in person beginning on Friday, July 29, at the Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and The Beacon Theatre box offices.
