On November 7th, the new Dead & Company band has announced their return to Madison Square Garden for a FREE show! Presented by American Express, 5,000 lucky winners will each receive two tickets to the performance, making it a 10,000 ticket giveaway in total. Tickets will be go “on-sale” for the performance.

In an interview, Bob Weir said, “People who want to hear the music get to hear it for free and we get to promote our music and share it with people.” Director Brett Ratner will also be attached to direct the live stream of the performance.

The ticket contest is accessible through the Dead & Company website. The band includes Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, Jeff Chimenti, Oteil Burbridge, and John Mayer.

Weir commented on the state of the band as well, saying “We’re about halfway in and rehearsals are going well, if I may say… We’ve been through 45 or 50 tunes and I’m not going to tell you that we have them entirely locked down, but we have a good handle on them.”
