As Dark Star Orchestra plows towards nearly 3,000 shows performed over 21 years (current count: 2870), the popular Grateful Dead tribute act has announced their plans for a lengthy 2019 summer tour.

Dark Star Orchestra summer tour will conclude with the recently-announced Dark Star’s Pisgah Jubilee, a two-night festival at the Pisgah Brewing Company in Black Mountain, NC featuring four sets of DSO over two nights plus special guests Peter Rowan, Midnight North, The Lil Smokies and more.

The eastern-US-focused tour features three announced historical show recreations near the places they were originally played. On July 26th in Hampton Beach, NH, the band will recreate the Dead’s 5/11/79 performance from Billerica, MA in celebration of its 40th birthday. On August 10th in Asbury Park, NJ, DSO will recreate the Dead’s 7/9/89 show at Giants Stadium in honor of its 30th anniversary. On the first night of Dark Star’s Pigsah Jubilee, the band will recreate the Grateful Dead’s 5/3/79 performance at Charlotte Coliseum.

Additional dates will be announced in the coming weeks. DSO Fan club tickets available now via the band’s website, with a public on-sale kicking off this Friday, March 15th at 10 a.m.
