Rock icon Bobby Weir, co-founder of the Grateful Dead, will make his triumphant return to London on June 21 at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall, marking his first performance in the city in over two decades.
The special concert will feature Weir alongside his Wolf Bros band and the 68-piece Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, promising a unique blend of reimagined Grateful Dead classics and selections from Weir's solo repertoire across two full sets.
Joining Weir on stage will be his Wolf Bros bandmates, including Grammy-winning producer Don Was on bass, Jeff Chimenti on piano, and Jay Lane on drums. The evening marks the first time these arrangements will be performed with a full orchestra in the UK.
The orchestral collaboration builds upon the success of Weir's 2022 debut of this format, which began with a sold-out four-night engagement at Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center alongside the National Symphony Orchestra. The project has since toured across the United States, performing with various prestigious orchestras.
At 77, Weir continues to maintain an active performing schedule. He recently launched the Dead Forever 2025 residency at Las Vegas' Sphere with Dead & Company, celebrating the supergroup's 10th anniversary.
Tickets for the Royal Albert Hall performance will be available through pre-sales starting April 2 at 2 PM BST, with general sales opening on April 4 at 4 PM BST.
