Where to buy tickets, best prices

Prepare to see a lot of tie dye tees on the Strip.

Starting Thursday, May 16, Dead and Company will descend upon Las Vegas’ MSG Sphere for a 24-concert residency.

The forthcoming extended stay may come as a surprise to fans; in summer 2023, the band put on a ‘Farewell Tour,’ that they alleged to be their last.

“There are other ways to make sure the music never stops,” the band shared in an Instagram video. “And it’s gonna be a ball.”

If this sounds like the show for you, tickets are available for all Dead and Company Sphere concerts.

And, given how expensive tickets were to see U2 and Phish at the newly-opened, high-profile, often trippy Sin City venue, prices are surprisingly reasonable to catch John Mayer, Bobby Weir and co. live this summer.

At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets was $98 before fees on Vivid Seats.

Other concerts start anywhere from $106 to $194 before fees.

Want to jam with one of the world’s most beloved jam bands and marvel at surreal visuals all at once?

You’re in the right place, Dead Heads.

Dead and Company concert review

Last summer, the NY Post’s resident Deadhead Ryan Murphy saw Dead and Co. at Citi Field.

“They kept it all about the music and their farewell over the course of their four-hour set,” Murphy noted.

Huge jam bands on tour in 2024

Dead and Company essentially created the template for freewheeling, improvisatory rock back in the ’60s.

Over the years, many acts have followed their lead and created their own version of the “no two set lists are the same” spectacle.

Here are just five of our favorites you won’t want to miss live this year.

• Phish

• Dave Matthews Band

• String Cheese Incident

• moe.

• Widespread Panic
