[2/1/24]: After teasing the announcement of a residency at Las Vegas, NV’s Sphere with a tie-dye light display on the venue’s exosphere on Tuesday night, Dead & Company have announced the details of their 18-show 2024 residency at the technologically advanced venue, billed as Dead Forever – Live at Sphere.
The residency, split up into six separate three-night runs, will kick off with a set of shows on May 16th, 17th, and 18th in Las Vegas and continue for three nights each weekend before wrapping up on June 20th, 21st, and 22nd. Five of the six three-night stretches will take place from Thursday through Saturday. The remaining trio of shows, May 24th–26th, will take place from Friday through Sunday. Per the band’s announcement, each weekend’s three performances will feature a unique setlist.
Dead Forever will feature “never-before-seen visual storytelling” from Dead & Company, utilizing the innovative and immersive elements of Sphere to allow fans to forge new connections to the Grateful Dead‘s timeless songbook. Per a press release circulated by Dead & Company, “These shows will utilize Sphere’s next-generation technologies, including the world’s highest resolution LED display that wraps up, over, and around the audience creating a fully immersive visual environment. The venue also features the world’s most advanced concert-grade audio system, Sphere Immersive Sound, powered by HOLOPLOT, which delivers audio with unmatched clarity and precision to every guest.”
The band, which features Grateful Dead vets Bob Weir and Mickey Hart alongside John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Chimenti, and Jay Lane, widely touted its 2023 summer stadium trek as “The Final Tour,” though various band members have since offered comments indicating that the band was far from finished. As Dead & Company quipped in a promo teaser for the Sphere residency posted on Wednesday, “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.”
