We’re thrilled to be able to bring this event to generations of fans all over the world.”

“Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of Grateful Dead” — taking place June 27 and 28 in Santa Clara, CA, and July 3, 4, and 5 in Chicago — will feature the four original members of Grateful Dead, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, and Bob Weir, reuniting for their last-ever performances together. The concerts will take place nearly 20 years to the day of the last Grateful Dead concert with Jerry Garcia, and the band will be joined by Trey Anastasio (guitar), Jeff Chimenti (keyboards), and Bruce Hornsby (piano).
