Phish’s summer tour is over, sans their now-annual Labor Day Weekend blowout at Dick’s Sporting Goods Stadium in Denver. Personally, I racked up seven Phish shows in the last month, with my favorite being the Tweezer-palooza at Merriweather Post Pavilion two weeks ago. With the tour ending in Alpharetta, Georgia on Sunday night, Trey Anastasio flew back to the Tri-State area to attend… A One Direction concert at Metlife Stadium?
Yes… Seriously:
First Bieber, now 1D. Trey loves boy bop. RT @UncleTomsCabin_ Trey at one direction tonight. No word on a sit in pic.twitter.com/sHJbWTJJzT

It resulted in the pretty fantastic pic of Big Red with Harry Styles via a Jam Base exclusive. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone; Trey’s daughters are notoriously fond of boy pop and the organization as a whole is tight with Bieber’s people thanks to Dan Kanter‘s personal fondness of the band. Trey is rocking a Live Nation VIP lament, which probably isn’t hard for him to obtain since Phish as a whole makes A LOT of money for Live Nation venues when they go on tour.
Next time, tell him to bring his axe and sit in for “Best Song Ever,” Harry.
