Update! Dead & Co Weekend In Saratoga! Here’s Everything You Need To Know

For 57 years it's been a long strange trip for 'deadheads', the Grateful Dead and now Dead and Company. On Father's Day weekend the road stops in Saratoga Springs for the final time and fans from across the United States, and perhaps the world, will make the pilgrimage to SPAC.

As for the June 18th show, there is much to know before you go. We are giving you a deadHEADS-up on a timeline, parking, what you can bring in, what you cannot bring in and the do's and don'ts, which are the same for each night.

The Grateful Dead played Saratoga Performing Arts Center 4 times, including the June 27, 1985 show where 40,000 fans showed up to an amphitheater that holds approximately half that. This got the musicians banned from SPAC until 1988.

Timing for Dead & Co. at Saratoga Performing Arts Center Sunday June 18, 2023. The lines to enter the venue on Saturday were massive and the process was slow. Be patient, be kind.
