Dead & Company to stream final Golden Gate Park concert live in IMAX
Dead & Company will honor six decades of Grateful Dead music with a three-night blowout at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.

The Golden Gate Park shows are expected to draw over 60,000 fans per day to the Polo Fields, where Dead & Company — featuring Grateful Dead founding members Bob Weir and Mickey Hart, joined by John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Chimenti and Jay Lane — will headline what many believe may be their final San Francisco stand. Dead & Company's 8/3 performance at Golden Gate Park will stream live exclusively to select @IMAX screens. Get tickets: Each ticket will come with a commemorative poster & laminate/lanyard, which will be distributed onsite. — Dead & Company (@deadandcompany) July 21, 2025 Later in August, the celebration continues with a nationwide IMAX release of 'The Grateful Dead Movie,' newly remastered and presented as part of the band's annual 'Meet Up at the Movies' event.

Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart to bring solo art show to S.F. ahead of Dead & Co's sold-out shows
Mickey Hart is shedding light on a lesser known talent of his just ahead of Dead & Company 's sold-out Golden Gate Park concerts. The Grateful Dead drummer is teaming up with the Haight Street Art Center to showcase nearly 100 original paintings and prints later this month, marking his largest show ever and his first in a San Francisco museum. Hart has shared his artistic passions with fans for years, and previously brought the immersive art exhibition to Las Vegas ahead of Dead & Co's first run of shows at the Sphere. Though he works with paint, Hart rarely uses paintbrushes. Instead, he utilizes subwoofer vibrations to shape his works, a process he has previously referred to as 'vibrational expressionism.' 'I love the flow of things, to be in the moment, to experience magic,' Hart said in a statement. 'When I paint, I can feel the vibration, I can see it in the colors. … This mix is exotic and profound in a vibratory and sensual way. I use musical instruments to create and power the paintings out of the vibrations that are formed.' 'Mickey Hart: Art of the Edge of Magic' is set to run from July 24 through Sept. 21, and an opening celebration is scheduled at the nonprofit art center from 4-6 p.m. on July 31, the night before Dead & Company kicks off its three-night stint of Grateful Dead 60th anniversary concerts, set for Aug. 1-3. Hart plans to show his paintings lit from behind in addition to pieces on 'plexiglass rendered in pigments sensitive to blacklight,' according to a statement. The exhibit is also expected to feature the devices Hart uses to create his poured paintings as well as a musical audio experience. 'We have always gravitated to art that transforms and transports viewers,' Kelly Harris, executive director of the Haight Street Art Center, said in a statement. 'Hart's entire musical career has been devoted to doing just that, while his art of the past several decades has expanded this ethos into the visual realm.' Grahame Lesh, the son of the late Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh, who died in October, is also hosting his own string of concerts for Deadheads to enjoy during the milestone celebration weekend later this month. His three-night concert series Heart of Town is set to run July 31-Aug. 2 at Pier 48. It will feature performances from Grahame's jam band, Grahame Lesh & Friends, as well as others such as Santa Ana saxophonist Karl Denson, Louisville jazz musician John Medeski and New York indie rock singer Karina Rykman.
