Billboard is reporting their sources have confirmed discussions are taking place about possible concert(s) featuring Grateful Dead members performing together at either Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California or at AT&T Park in San Francisco the weekend prior to the Fare The Well three-night stand at Chicago’s Soldier Field over the July 4th Weekend.
Billboard cited early rumors posted on hypemusicfestivals.com and confirmed with their own sources that the core four remaining members of the Grateful Dead –Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart –are exploring adding at least one show the weekend of June 27 –28. Billboard’s sources speculated Fare Thee Well promoters Peter Shapiro and Madison House would put on the West Coast gig(s), however, both declined comment. It is not known whether the same lineup employed in Chicago -the core four with Trey Anastasio, Jeff Chimenti and Bruce Hornsby -will play the potential California shows.
Shapiro had previously stated “There’s no extra dates planned. For Chicago or anywhere else.” Tickets for the three Chicago shows have officially sold out.
