Fans of the hippie jam band Phish are in for a special treat this Halloween.  Accoring to the L.A. Times, the band confirmed it will stage a three-day event called “Festival 8″ starting Friday, Oct. 30.

The band will perform 8 sets throughout the weekend, on the same grounds that host the Coachella and Stagecoach festivals in Indio, Calif.

“Festival 8″ marks the first festival the band has hosted since going on a 5-year touring hiatus in 2004.   Tickets are $199 and will go on sale Monday, July 27, at 10 a.m. via Music Today.

Phish fans on Twitter are already making plans:
