Tickets are $60 for general admission and $45 for lawn seats.
The band last played Merriweather in 2011. They played two sold-out shows on June 11 and 12. Over the two days of concerts that year, 24 people were arrested, mostly for drug-related offenses.
At the time, a Howard County Police spokesperson said, "Phish concerts tend to draw a number of people from out of state, and we had a few issues."
