In this article, I show how Phish fans who take the values that the band espouses to be instructive might use virtue ethics as a normative framework to think through ethical issues they encounter as fans and come to conclusions about what should and should not be allowed within their community. I then show how the virtue ethics framework might be used more generally by fans of other musical groups. If my argument is sound, then fans can use the virtue ethics framework to have productive ethical discourse about the permissibility of various practices at live shows, festivals, and other events.
