Following the announcement that Dead & Company will be the next resident artist at Las Vegas’ innovative Sphere, the renowned Grateful Dead spin-off band has revealed the dates for their much-anticipated six-week summer run.
The series of shows, aptly titled ‘Dead Forever,’ will feature 24 performances from May 16 through July 13.
Innovative Visual Storytelling and Unique Setlists:
The Dead Forever gigs, scheduled for Thursday-Saturday each week, promise an immersive experience for fans. Dead & Company plans to introduce “never-before-seen visual storytelling,” providing concert-goers with a unique and innovative connection to the music.
Known for their psychedelic musical explorations, the band will curate distinct setlists for each weekend’s performances at the state-of-the-art Sphere venue, boasting a 20,000-capacity.
Sphere’s Impressive Track Record and Dead & Company Lineup:
The Sphere, which has already hosted U2’s groundbreaking shows featuring mesmerizing visuals on the world’s highest-resolution warp-around LED screen, is set to continue its success with Dead & Company.
The band, comprising Grateful Dead founding member Bob Weir, percussionist Mickey Hart, John Mayer, Jeff Chimenti, and Oteil Burbridge, has captivated audiences since its formation in 2015.
Phish and Dead & Company Take the Stage:

This back-to-back series of iconic performances ensures an extended musical excitement at the Sphere.
