This is the music festival ticket news that Phish fans have been "Bouncing Around the Room" to hear.

Months after fans of Phish revealed would be turning Delaware's the Woodlands -- better known as the home of Firefly -- into a "Farmhouse," the "Chalkdust Torture" is over for all those "Fluffheads" waiting to attend the four-day music festival called Mondegreen.

"Mondegreen will see Phish performing over four days and nights, alongside an array of interactive fan experiences, specially curated regional food and drink, art installations, and much more," the iconic improvisational band known for long jams wrote.

Here's the shakedown that every guy looking to be a "Lawn Boy" for a weekend in August needs to know:

What are the dates for Phish's Mondegreen festival in Delaware?

The festival takes places from Thursday Aug. 15 to Sunday Aug. 18 in the summer of 2024.

Where is The Woodlands?

Ok, "Harry Hood," you might recall the Firefly festival that took over Delaware for a decade before taking a break in 2023. The massive grounds are located next to Dover Motor Speedway. The site is easily accessible from U.S. Route 13 and Delaware Route 1.

Phish explained why they chose the site: "Centrally located with easy access from all points in the northeast and mid-Atlantic, the festival site will feature an abundance of on-site camping, with many nearby hotel options also available."

When did Phish Mondegreen tickets go on sale?

Fans of Trey Anastasio, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon and Page McConnell had been "Wading in the Velvet Sea" for months for this "Bliss."

Travel packages went on sale on Thursday, Jan. 18 at 11 a.m. ET. Weekend festival tickets and camping passes went on sale Friday, Jan. 19 at 11 a.m. ET.

According to the Mondegreen website, general admission to all four dates and camping starts at $450. The Glen Close and Full Monde areas cost $650, including fees.
