In addition to delivering different songs at all three gigs, Bob Weir, John Mayer and co. will be joined by a new opening guest every evening.
On Friday, Aug. 1, Billy Strings will handle opening duties. The next night, Sturgill 'Johnny Blue Skies' Simpson takes over. Finally, the Trey Anastasio Band featuring Phish's frontman closes things out on Sunday, August 3.
These shows come on the heels of the Rock Hall of Fame group's second residency at Las Vegas Sphere (which followed their alleged 2023 retirement). At their most recent gig, they played 18 songs including fan favorites like 'Casey Jones,' 'Scarlet Begonias' and 'Fire on the Mountain' as well as a few Bob Dylan covers and their take on Jimmy Cliff's reggae classic 'The Harder They Come.'
If you'd like to catch this one-of-a-kind live show featuring Weir, Mayer, Mickey Hart, bassist Oteil Burbridge, keyboardist Jeff Chimenti and drummer Jay Lane, tickets can be yours as soon as today.

Photos give rare glimpse of area's first major pop festival at Bickershaw
With the festival season underway. we thought it appropriate to head into the archive and bring you these photos from one of the area's first pop festivals. The event, held at Bickershaw, over three days in May 1972, featured a line-up of major UK and American acts including The Grateful Dead, Hawkwind, Captain Beefheart and The Kinks. Organisers had hoped that over 120,000 people would head to the North West for the Bickershaw Festival - notable as it was one of the first festivals to offer on-site camping. But bad weather meant that the site - which was prone to flooding - turned into something of a mud bath. And a lack of adequate security meant that many tickets were resold and many festivalgoers even got in for free. Around 40,000 people were estimated to have attended with the organisers - who included one Jeremy Beadle, long before he achieved TV fame - losing a substantial amount of money. The site was left an eyesore leading to numerous complaints from local residents.
