New Concert Dates Added to The Dead Tour

From www.dead.net/dead09

Great News: The Dead just added 3 new shows to the spring tour, with additional nights at Chicago and Shoreline, plus a show at The Gorge in Quincy, WA! Click here for links to the ticket vendors. Now we have 22 shows spread across a month from mid-April through mid-May!

The lineup for this edition of The Dead will be the same one that rocked the house at Penn State last fall at the Obama benefit: The Core Four of Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, joined by guitar monster Warren Haynes and RatDog keyboard ace Jeff Chimenti (both veterans of the 2004 Dead “Wave That Flag” tour). The mood of the band for this Spring Fling is way up, so it’s sure to be a great tour!

Dead.net will be your official hub for ALL news about the tour, including dates and ticket info… and perhaps even a few surprises along the way!

The Dead – Bonnaroo Rumors Are Flying

The Dead at Bonnaroo Rumor PosterWith the official Bonnaroo 2009 Lineup schedule to be announced tomorrow Feb 3rd, rumors are flying about over The Dead making an appearance. There is even a band lineup poster floating about which lists not just The Dead, but Paul McCartney, Phish, Outkast, The Allman Brothers and many others. If The Dead are in fact on the Bonnaroo schedule, it will more than likely mean that more summer tour dates are already in the works. Of course, rumors are just rumors until proven true. Tomorrow we will know.
