Deadheads were blown away during the first residency by four-hour shows that perfectly blended the group’s beloved hippie anthems with high-resolution digital psychedelia projected onto the one-of-a-kind venue’s immersive dome. Fans can sign up for an artist presale now here; the presale begins on Dec. 10 at 10 a.m. PT, with additional presales kicking off on Dec. 12 at 10 a.m. PT.

Gracie Abrams Says ‘Hit the Wall’ Became the ‘North Star’ for Her ‘Daughter From Hell’ Album & Yet ‘I Don’t Remember Writing It’

"I just remember it being done," the singer/songwriter recalls of the lead single.

Gracie Abrams didn’t exactly know what Daughter From Hell was going to become when she wrote “Hit the Wall.” As it turned out, the song would actually help her figure it out, and ultimately introduced the album that would earn her first No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

During a recent appearance on Jake Shane’s Therapuss podcast, Abrams vulnerably talked about the circumstances surrounding the creation of “Hit the Wall,” revealing that the song became the “north star” of her third studio album.
