In conjunction with the band’s “Dead Forever” residency, a themed interactive exhibit and store will be opening soon at the nearby Venetian resort.
The residency comes after Dead & Company mounted what they labeled The Final Tour, which ran from May to July last year.
Announcement Video
Dead & Company’s plans to play Sphere were confirmed on Wednesday, January 31, with a video posted on the band’s and the venue’s social media pages.
The clip began with a message appearing on a black screen that reads, “In 2023, Dead & Company played their final tour. But there are other ways to make sure the music never stops. And it’s gonna be a ball.”
The clip then cuts to footage of the Sphere’s exterior, which features a swirling tie-dye design that morphs into the Grateful Dead’s Steal Your Face skull-and-lightning bolt logo.
Dead & Company Lineup
The Dead & Company lineup for the band’s 2023 tour featured Grateful Dead singer/guitarist Bob Weir and drummer Mickey Hart, along with singer/guitarist John Mayer, former Allman Brothers Band bassist Oteil Burbridge, and keyboardist Jeff Chimenti and drummer Jay Lane from Weir’s side group RatDog.
