The Grateful Dead members are going on tour with John Mayer one last time next summer.
Dead & Company announced its final tour dates Thursday, including two Upstate New York concerts. The band will perform at Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) in Saratoga Springs on Saturday, June 17, 2023, and Sunday, June 18, 2023; both shows begin at 7 p.m.
Tickets will go on sale Friday, Oct. 14 at 10 a.m. through Live Nation. Prices may fluctuate based on demand.
Advance presale registration is available at deadandcompany.com. A limited number of artist presale tickets will go on sale Wednesday, Oct. 12 at noon.
According to a press release, Dead & Company — 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 band formed in 2015 when Grateful Dead members Hart, Kreutzmann, and Weir joined forces with Mayer, Burbridge and Chimenti.
“As we put the finishing touches on booking venues, and understanding that word travels fast, we wanted to be the first to let you know that Dead & Company will be hitting the road next summer for what will be our final tour,” Dead & Co. said last month, promising an “exciting, celebratory, and heartfelt last run of shows.”
Dead & Company canceled a performance at SPAC this past summer at the last minute when Mayer’s father suffered a medical emergency and was taken to the hospital. Tickets were refunded at the original point of sale, according to the band.
“He is now fairly stable and will continue to undergo some procedures, but as you can understand, I have to stay in NYC and can’t play tonight’s show in Saratoga Springs,” Mayer told fans on Instagram hours before the show was scheduled to begin.
