LAS VEGAS – Dead & Company’s Dead Forever – Live at SPHERE residency opened in Las Vegas on May 16, kicking off an eight-week run with three shows per week, 24 shows in all. [Then on May 28, two more three-show weekends in August were announced, bringing the total show count to 30. -ed.] The three performances for each of the weekends each feature unique setlists, with shows running Thursday-Friday-Saturday except for Memorial Day weekend, when they run Friday-Saturday-Sunday.
The shows make use of Sphere’s next-generation technologies, including the world’s highest resolution LED display that wraps up, over, and around the audience creating a fully immersive visual environment. The venue also features the world’s most advanced concert-grade audio system, Sphere Immersive Sound, powered by Holoplot, which delivers audio with unmatched clarity and precision to every guest.
On May 13, 2024, shortly before the Dead & Company residence began, Sphere Entertainment Co. announced that it has acquired all the remaining shares it did not previously own of Holoplot GmbH, based in Berlin, Germany.
Dead & Company has been touring consistently since its 2015 debut. They have completed 10 tours, playing to more than 4 million fans across 235 shows, and became a record-breaking stadium act when it set Wrigley Field’s all-time concert attendance for a single concert, which still holds to this day. The band also holds the record number of performances at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado, with 13 shows; holds the record number of performances at Citi Field, home to the New York Mets, with 11 shows; broke Boston’s Fenway Park’s all-time attendance record for the most tickets sold in a single night; and ended their touring career at Oracle Park, home of the Giants baseball team, hosting its final three tour dates of the band’s career to an audience of over 118,000. Across all tours, the Dead & Company community, through the band’s legendary Participation Row, raised $13+ million to support nonprofits and environmental and social causes, with $4 million donated through charity auctions and online raffles. All of the funds raised are split between HeadCount, REVERB, and the Dead Family non-profit organizations, as well as the non- profit ocean conservation organization Oceana and MusiCares among others.
