December 4th 2024.
Dead & Company, the iconic rock band, has just announced their return to the stage for a spring residency at the famous Las Vegas Sphere. This news has thrilled fans all over the world as they eagerly await the 10th anniversary shows at this iconic venue.
The group, which was formed in 2015, initially consisted of Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann, along with John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, and Jeff Chimenti. In 2023, Jay Lane replaced Kreutzmann on drums. For almost a decade, Dead & Company has been delighting fans with their performances of Grateful Dead covers. And now, they are excited to announce their return to the sphere in Las Vegas.
The band has planned a run of 18 shows, starting from March 20th next year and concluding on May 17th. Fans can get their tickets in the presale on Tuesday, December 10th at 10 am PT, with a second sale starting at the same time on Thursday, December 12th. This will mark Dead & Company as the first band to hold a second residency at the Sphere.
Registration for the ticket sales is now open on the group's website, and travel and accommodation packages will be available for purchase starting tomorrow. In their announcement on social media, Dead & Company expressed their excitement for celebrating their anniversary on such a grand scale. This will make them the first band to hold a second residency at the Sphere, where they first performed in May this year and concluded their run in August.
Since its opening in September last year, the Sphere has seen performances by other legendary bands such as Phish, the Eagles, and U2. The Eagles are currently in the middle of a 32-show run that will end in April next year. The fans couldn't contain their excitement upon hearing the news of Dead & Company's return to the 18,600-seat immersive auditorium. Many took to social media to express their joy and anticipation for the upcoming shows.
Their last tour, attended by over 800,000 fans, wrapped up in San Francisco, the birthplace of the Grateful Dead. The band had previously stated that they were unsure about their future, but fans remained hopeful. And now, with the announcement of their residency at the Sphere, it is clear that Dead & Company is still very much a band.
In an interview with GQ in June, Mayer and Hart spoke about the band's longevity and the excitement of their open shows. They described their live performances as "future-proof." However, there was uncertainty about future shows during the summer, with the band members not being completely convinced about returning to the stage together. But now, it is clear that they will be back to entertain their fans once again.
The Las Vegas Sphere is a revolutionary venue, and typically, bands can only perform once at the venue. However, there have been speculations that this rule may no longer apply, and the announcement by Dead & Company confirms it. The members also mentioned that they would be open to doing more shows if given the opportunity. And now, they have answered their own question about whether they will be back on stage together.
