All ticket holders must adhere to new COVID guidelines

Dead & Company — Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, John Mayer, and Bob Weir, with Oteil Burbridge and Jeff Chimenti — has announced new COVID protocols for ticket holders on their upcoming tour. For the health and safety of all at Dead & Company concerts, ticket holders must provide proof of full vaccination or negative COVID-19 diagnostic test within 48 hours prior to entry, except where prohibited by law.

Fans who have already purchased GA Pit tickets will all be required to show proof of their completed COVID-19 vaccination to receive a wristband to access the GA Pit area. If a GA Pit ticket holder does not have proper documentation, they will be relocated to an alternate “non-pit” seating area. Negative testing is not an available option for pit entry.

Children under the age of 12 may attend the concert if they provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 48 hours of the show. No Pit access for children under 12 or anyone without proof of vaccination.

“Requiring vaccinations and testing is one of the best ways to protect the health and safety of our band, crew, and fans. There are no exceptions to these policies,” a statement reads.

New COVID-19 protocols will be announced soon for the New York; Philadelphia; Hershey, PA; Chicago; West Palm Beach; Tampa and Woodslands, TX stops.

The trek kicks off August 16th in Raleigh, North Carolina, and running through Halloween, with a three-night stand at the iconic Hollywood Bowl on October 29th, 30th, & 31st.

Nugs.net will offer livestreams from all August and September shows on the upcoming Dead & Company 2021 tour. For the sixth consecutive year, Nugs will stream the supergroup’s performances in both HD and 4K, providing fans around the world with the incomparable experience of virtually sitting front row for one of the most successful touring bands of the decade.

In between tours, Dead & Company hosts its annual “Playing in the Sand” all-inclusive Caribbean concert vacation in Mexico and features three nights of Dead & Company playing on an intimate beach. Due to overwhelming fan demand, a second weekend was added to 2022’s Playing in the Sand. Both weekends have sold out.
