SAN FRANCISCO – The long strange trip is proving to be even longer than anyone thought.
The Grateful Dead, this city’s iconic band with roots in the psychedelic era, has plans to return to one of its most legendary performance locales to celebrate 60 years since its 1965 founding.
Golden Gate Park, which sits in the city’s center and was a magnet for rock and theater performances of all kinds in the ’60s, will host three shows by Dead & Company – the name given to what remains of the original band plus current musicians – at the park’s Polo Fields Aug. 1, 2 and 3.
Artist presale tickets open at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET May 28, with fans able to register for three-day tickets.
