In an exciting development for fans of jam bands and classic rock, Dead & Company are returning to the Sphere in Las Vegas for an 18-show residency scheduled for the spring of 2025. This run, aptly named “Dead Forever,” coincides with the band's 10th anniversary and marks their second stint at this state-of-the-art venue. The impressive Sphere, renowned for its technological marvel and wrap-around dome that enhances visual and auditory experiences, provides an ideal setting for the band’s immersive shows. Dead & Company, an offshoot of the legendary Grateful Dead, will be performing from March 20 to May 17, 2025, offering the only Sphere shows during that period.

The group, which includes former Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Mickey Hart alongside John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Chimenti, and Jay Lane, looks forward to showcasing their music with some updated visual spectacles on Sphere’s expansive 160,000-square-foot high-resolution video screen. The innovation in their presentation is a nod to their prior performances at the venue, where they captivated fans with four-hour sets that mixed beloved anthems with high-definition psychedelic projections. In an interview, Weir expressed his vision for more interactive elements between the band and the crew managing these vivid visuals, suggesting a future where technology could blend seamlessly with live performances to surprise both the band and the audience.

Tickets for these concerts are highly anticipated and will be available for purchase starting December 13, following several pre-sale opportunities, including an artist pre-sale and a Live Nation pre-sale. This residency not only celebrates significant milestones for Dead & Company but also promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans, reinforcing the band’s status in the world of live music.

The scheduled 18 performances represent a significant venture back into this venue for Dead & Company, following their successful 30-show run in 2024. Sphere’s unique setting is instrumental in allowing the band to experiment with creative new ways to engage their audience, both visually and sonically. As Dead & Company embarks on this new chapter, the anticipation builds, not just for the music, but also for the innovative experience that these shows promise to deliver.

Undoubtedly, the combination of Dead & Company's rich musical history and the Sphere’s cutting-edge technology creates a potent mix that fans eagerly await. The “Dead Forever” residency not only marks a celebratory milestone for the band but also sets the stage for what promises to be a spectacular series of concerts, demonstrating the band’s continued evolution and commitment to their art.
