Violence Strikes Phish Concert in Virginia

A Phish concert in Hampton, Virginia, turned tragic when a stabbing incident left one person dead and two others hurt. The trouble started after the band's performance on Friday night, September 19, 2025, outside the Hampton Coliseum. Police got to the scene around 9:30 p. m. ET and found two men with cuts, one of which was very serious. A fight broke out between a few people, and things got out of hand. The person who started the trouble ran away but was caught soon after. The first victim didn't make it to the hospital. The other two are getting medical help.

The concert went on as planned, and Phish played their full set. They even played another show the next night.
