The Dead Rise Again For Tour
Attention Deadheads: Surviving members of the Grateful Dead will hit the road for a 19-city tour this spring.
The tour is their first since 2004 and will take the group, now called the Dead, from Greensboro, N.C. on April 12 to Mountain View, Calif., on May 10.
No Canadian dates have been announced yet.
The band members have toured sporadically since the death of vocalist-guitarist Jerry Garcia in 1995 but reunited for a Barack Obama benefit concert in Pennsylvania in October.
“For me, it’s the question mark that’s really pulling me in. … What’s gonna happen?” Lesh told Billboard.com. “When you walk out on the stage, the possibilities are infinite every time.”
The Grateful Dead formed in 1965 and are credited with pioneering the jam band movement.
