Dead & Company are headed back to Las Vegas’ Sphere for their second run of shows at the mind-bending wrap-around venue. The group announced their 2025 Dead & Company: Dead Forever – Live at Sphere Las Vegas on Wednesday morning (Dec. 4), an 18-show residency that will celebrate the Grateful Dead offshoot band’s 10th anniversary.

The band’s only Sphere shows of 2025 will kick off on March 20 and find the band performing a series of Thur.-Sat. weekend triple-headers through May 17. The upcoming stay-put is the successor to the band’s 30-show Dead Forever – Live at Sphere residency earlier this year.

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. Advance registration does not guarantee tickets, which begin at $145, reflecting all-in pricing.

Dead & Company formed in 2015 with a lineup featuring founding singer/guitarist Bob Weir, as well as founding drummer Bill Kreutzmann and longtime drummer Mickey Hart, as well as singer/guitarist John Mayer, bassist Oteil Burbridge and keyboardist Jeff Chimenti; Jay Lane took over for Kreutzmann in 2023.
