10 things that the rock band Phish has in common with WWE

#2 A Fanatical fanbase that is willing to travel

Within the world of professional wrestling, the wrestlers and other on-air talent are not the only people traveling regularly. Take the week of WrestleMania, for example, where over 100,000 wrestling fans are expected to descend upon the event's host city each year. In turn, WWE is not the only major wrestling-related company hosting events in that city on that particular weekend.

WrestleMania aside, there have already been two successful Starrcast events where fans, podcasters and wrestling talent from all over the world have participated. New Japan's recent G1 event in Dallas attracted plenty of visiting fans from all over. Chris Jericho's Rock N' Wrestler Rager At Sea cruise -- a mix of wrestling, music, comedy, podcasts and DDP YOGA-related events -- also attracted fans from all over the world, with a second cruise announced (and almost sold-out) for January 2020.

Phish not only tours traditional concert venues, but the group has regularly hosted its own large-scale festivals; last year's Curveball was intended to be its 11th, as it's slated to be held at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, NY. Already announced for February 2020 is a multi-night stand in Riviera Maya, Mexico where fans will be treated to four nights of Phish in a beachfront setting. In other words, both the fans and the band are traveling to a destination which neither can call home-base, where all attendees are there for the same reason.
