Get ready, Bay Area music lovers, because the legendary Dead & Company are about to turn Golden Gate Park into a psychedelic paradise this summer.
The band is set to celebrate the Grateful Dead’s 60th anniversary with three mind-blowing shows in August, and tickets are about as affordable as a San Francisco studio apartment. For the cool price of $635, you can snag a three-day pass that’ll let you groove with Bobby Weir, Mickey Hart, and their musical cohorts.
A Star-Studded Musical Extravaganza
If the ticket price doesn’t make you weak in the knees, the lineup definitely will. Each night features a killer opening act: Billy Strings on Friday, Sturgill Simpson on Saturday, and Trey Anastasio Band on Sunday. These aren’t just warm-up acts - they’re legends in their own right.
When and Where
Mark your calendars for August 1-3, with shows starting at 4 pm each day. Each opener gets a tasty 75-minute set, which means Dead & Company will likely take the stage around 7 pm and rock until the 10 pm curfew. Pro tip: San Francisco summers can be chilly, so layer up and bring your vintage tie-dye.
Ticket Logistics
Ticket sales start May 30th at 10 am PT, with presales for artist fans and Another Planet Entertainment fans happening earlier. VIP packages start at a cool $1,725 - because why not drop a month’s rent on concert tickets? A small number of $60 tickets will be available for California firefighters, proving that sometimes the universe is kind of awesome.
