Dead & Company announce Final Tour details

Trek launches in spring 2023

After teasing its final tour last week, Dead & Company is launching The Final Tour in spring 2023 with back-to-back nights in Los Angeles. The trek kicks off on Friday, May 19th and Saturday, May 20th at the Kia Forum with dates running through Friday, July 14th and Saturday, July 15th when the tour ends with a two-night debut at San Francisco’s Oracle Park. The band – Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, John Mayer, and Bob Weir, with Oteil Burbridge and Jeff Chimenti – will perform two sets of music drawing from the Grateful Dead’s historic catalog of songs.

The highly-anticipated 2023 summer tour, produced by Live Nation, will be the band’s final tour since forming in 2015. Highlights include doubleheaders at Chicago’s Wrigley Field; Saratoga Performaing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, NY; Citi Field in New York City; and The Gorge in George, WA. The group also makes an epic return to Fenway Park in Boston, and will also perform their first-ever three-night stand at Boulder’s Folsome Field, among other stops.

To ensure that tickets get directly into the hands of fans, advance presale registration is now available powered by Seated. The Artist Presale begins Wednesday, October 12th at noon local venue time and runs through Thursday, October 13th at 10 pm local venue time. Advance registration does not guarantee tickets. Supplies are limited. Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, October 14th at 10 am local venue time through Ticketmaster.

Guests who prefer an enhanced experience for this memorable Dead & Company tour can purchase a variety of VIP and Travel Packages. Packages include seamless venue access, early GA entry, pre-show lounge with food and a cash bar, exclusive merchandise, or travel packages for multi-night runs in various cities. Packages from 100X Hospitality will go on sale October 12th at noon local venue time.

Dead & Company and Activist will continue their work with longtime sustainability partner REVERB to reduce the summer tour’s environmental footprint and engage fans to take action for people and the planet.

The group’s annual Playing in the Sand all-inclusive concert vacation takes place from January 14-17, 2023 in Riviera Cancún, Mexico. The group will perform three nights on the beach in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. The unique concert venue sits along the Caribbean, providing a surreal backdrop to this incredibly intimate event. Performances take place at Moon Palace Cancún, an all-inclusive resort which boasts a mile-long stretch of white sandy beach.

The two-week 2022 edition was canceled due to a spike in COVID cases a day before the first weekend was set to kick off. Had they performed, the band would’ve been down by two players as drummer Bill Kreutzmann was advised by doctors not to attend due to health concerns, and John Mayer was diagnosed with COVID-19 right before the cancelation.

Dead & Company was formed in 2015 when the Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Bob Weir joined forces with artist and musician John Mayer, Allman Brothers’ bassist Oteil Burbridge, and Fare Thee Well and RatDog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti. The result was one of the most successful touring bands of the decade. Since its formation, the band has completed six tours, playing to 3.4 million fans, and has become a record-breaking stadium act. Having toured consistently since its 2015 debut, the band has grossed $255.5 million and sold 2.8 million tickets across 149 reported shows.
