Update 2: The full Dead & Company summer tour schedule has been revealed! Check it out here.
Update 1: The FB Event and Live Nation links have since been taken down, but it appears that Dead & Company’s tour announcement is imminent as they just posted the following:
Dead & Company closed the book earlier this year with promising whispers of a return in 2017. While John Mayer has recently confirmed more concentration on his solo career, revealing a new album with the trio and plans to tour, he has proven in the past that there is always room for more. It seems as though the pop and blues star will rejoin with fellow Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzman, as well as Oteil Burbridge and Jeff Chimenti, in 2017.
According to this newly surfaced Facebook event, Dead & Co. will perform the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio on June 28th. This listing on Live Nation confirms the date, with pre-sale starting in just eight days. The website also explains that general on-sale starts on Friday, December 9th at 10AM. We have a feeling that their full announcement is approaching quicker than expected.
