Dead & Company Announce Fall Tour + NYE Plans

After months of speculation, the long-awaited tour announcement is finally here. Dead & Company, hot off of selling out two nights at Madison Square Garden over Halloween weekend, have announced plans for additional East Coast dates surrounding the aforementioned two-night run in New York City. Dead and Company will follow up those East Coast dates with four nights in five days. Those four West Coast shows will climax with two nights at The Forum in Los Angeles to ring in the New Year. And if 2015 has taught us anything, the tickets for December 30 & December 31 should sell out quick and become quite the commodity on the secondary ticket market

The announcement of a Fall Tour and New Year’s Eve run for the new Dead project should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed the Grateful Dead’s 50th Anniversary rumor mill over the past few months. John Mayer has big shoes to fill as he takes over lead guitar duties for the new project. After coming under considerable scrutiny from Dead purists, Trey Anastasio wowed the masses with his brilliant guitar work during the Fare Thee Well run earlier this Summer. American Express pre-sale for the newly announced shows will run from 10AM Eastern on Wednesday August 26 until 10PM Eastern on Thursday August 27.
