Phoenix & Passion Pit playing RXP show @ Hammerstein w/ Jack's Mannequin & Manchester Orchestra

Phoenix @ The Apple Store in September (more by Ryan Muir)

Phoenix and Passion Pit played two big NYC shows together in September. Phoenix also played their own shows at Terminal 5 that same month (a benefit), and a few months before that (which they accompanied with a smaller show at MHOW). Meanwhile, Passion Pit, who played two shows at Bowery in June, now have THREE headlining shows of their own coming up at Terminal 5 in January.

It seems unreasonable to believe at this point that Phoenix and Passion Pit would be teaming up for yet another NYC show that will happen before 2010 even gets here, but it’s true! They are two bands on a four band bill that also includes Jack’s Mannequin and Manchester Orchestra at Hammerstein Ballroom on December 2nd. Tickets for Matt Pinfield’s Holiday Extravaganza go on sale Friday at 10am with a Live Nation presale starting Wednesday at the same time (password = 1019RXP).

After NYC, Phoenix will head up to Canada for a few shows. All dates below…
