Grateful Dead 60th anniversary in Golden Gate Park: What you need to know
Dead & Company will commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Grateful Dead with a blockbuster three-night run in Golden Gate Park from Friday-Sunday, Aug. 1-3, drawing an estimated 60,000 fans per day to the Polo Field. For diehard Deadheads and first-time pilgrims alike, Golden Gate Park will once again be a sacred gathering spot — a celebration of music, memory and the enduring magic of the legendary jam band. Who is performing each night? Each evening opens with a special guest: bluegrass virtuoso Billy Strings on Friday, Aug. 1; Sturgill Simpson (performing as Johnny Blue Skies) on Saturday, Aug. 2; and Trey Anastasio Band on Sunday, Aug. 3. Following each performer's 75-minute sets, Dead & Company — led by original Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Mickey Hart, with John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Chimenti and Jay Lane — will headline the festivities. When and where are the concerts? Dates: Friday-Sunday, Aug. 1-3 Venue: Polo Field, Golden Gate Park Fans can begin lining up no earlier than two hours before gates open. What to know about park road closures Expect wide-reaching park closures. The Polo Field will be off-limits through Aug. 20. Key roadways, including Middle Drive and parts of JFK Drive, will close to vehicles — and, in some cases, to pedestrians and cyclists — especially during the concert window. How to get to the shows Public transit is the recommended route. Muni will boost service on the 5-Fulton and N-Judah lines, offering free rides to ticket holders via the Your Ticket, Your Fare program. Bike parking is available onsite, and local shuttles will operate to and from central San Francisco. Where to find Shakedown Street and exclusive merch Shakedown Street, the open-air market synonymous with Dead tours, returns as a fully sanctioned event along JFK Promenade during the three-day concert. Nearly 100 vendors will line JFK Promenade between Transverse and Blue Heron Lake streets from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Expect everything from tie-dye and tapestries to grilled cheese and incense. A Dead & Company Pop-Up Shop at Polk Hall in the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium (99 Grove St.) will also operate 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday, July 30–Aug. 3. The shop will feature exclusive merchandise and collectibles not available at the concert site. The store is cashless. Ticket info and how to watch from home Original general admission weekend passes started at $635, with VIP tiers reaching up to $9,548. Though tickets are sold out, fans at home can stream all three nights via in HD or 4K. On Sunday, Aug. 3, the final show will also screen live in select IMAX theaters nationwide. What to bring — and what to leave at home Bag policy: Clear bags preferred; small non-clear purses allowed (max 6-by-8-by- 3 inches). Hydration packs: Allowed if under 2.5L and with no extra compartments. Chairs and seating: No personal chairs or metal-framed seating. Blankets under 2-by-3 feet are allowed.
