The concert is part of a celebration of 50 years of the Grateful Dead and will take place during the actual anniversary week. Look for a nod to the band's strong New Orleans influences, such as The Meters. In fact George Porter Jr. is aboard as a special guest for both shows, while Papa Mali will play as part of the show on the 2nd. More guests will be announced soon.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, January 23 at 11 a.m. CST / 12 p.m. EST via Ticketweb.
