Rock band Dead and Company is set to make a comeback with a series of performances later this year, even after declaring their “final tour” in 2023. This announcement has sparked excitement among fans who cherish the band's unique blend of rock and improvisational live performances. The group is gearing up for a residency at the Las Vegas Sphere, showcasing a lineup of 18 shows that will kick off in May.
The news was shared through a joint announcement on Instagram, where Dead and Company declared, “In 2023, Dead & Company played their final tour. But there are other ways to make sure the music never stops.” This statement leaves many fans eagerly anticipating what the upcoming shows will bring.
In a creative Instagram clip, audio from Dead and Company accompanied visuals of the band’s colorful logo illuminating the Sphere’s exterior LED screens. The band is composed of renowned musicians including John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Chimenti, and Grateful Dead’s legendary Bob Weir and Mickey Hart, all of whom are expected to bring their musical talents to the stage once again.
As excitement builds, presale registrations for the Dead and Company shows have already begun. General ticket sales will commence on February 9 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, ensuring fans have the opportunity to experience the magic of live music once more. The Sphere, a lavish venue boasting a $2.3 billion price tag and nearly 18,000 seats, is set to deliver an unforgettable experience for all attendees.
In September 2022, John Mayer announced that the band would embark on their final tour in the summer of 2023. However, the journey took an unexpected turn when it was revealed that founding member Bill Kreutzmann would not be joining for this last tour. Despite the uncertainties, the band reassured fans that their legacy lives on, promising a spectacular residency at the Sphere.
As Dead and Company prepares for this exciting chapter, fans can look forward to an exhilarating lineup of performances that will undoubtedly capture the spirit of the Grateful Dead and their dedicated following. With the promise of good times ahead, the music truly never stops.
