Wake up, Deadheads! Dead & Company is coming to Isleta in July
Two-set concert will offer classics from the band’s catalog
Dead & Company announced a show on July 11 at Isleta Amphitheater.
The band — Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, John Mayer, and Bob Weir, with Oteil Burbridge and Jeff Chimenti — will perform two sets of music drawing from the Dead’s historic catalog of songs.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 27 at livenation.com.
Additionally, there is an American Express and Citi cardmembers pre-sale beginning at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 23.
Dead & Company was formed in 2015 when the Grateful Dead’s Hart, Kreutzmann and Weir joined forces with artist and musician Mayer, Allman Brothers’ bassist Burbridge, and Fare Thee Well and RatDog keyboardist Chimenti.
The result was one of the most successful touring bands of the decade.
The inaugural tour kicked off in the fall of 2015 with two sold-out shows at the legendary Madison Square Garden and ended the year with two sold-out performances at the ‘Fabulous’ Forum in Inglewood, Calif.
Since then, the band has gone on to complete three record-breaking U.S. tours, performing to more than a million fans.
The 2017 summer tour, which lasted from the end of May through the first of July, drew in nearly 500,000 fans and consisted of 20 concerts, including twonight stands at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Shoreline Amphitheatre in San Francisco, Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo., Fenway Park in Boston, and Wrigley Field in Chicago.
The back-to-back sold-out shows in Chicago drew in more than 80,000 fans and set the ballpark’s all-time record for most tickets sold for a single concert at the historic venue (43,600).
