Grateful Dead’s 60th anniversary is turning San Francisco into a swirling, tie-dyed celebration that seems to permeate every corner of the city this week. I’m seeing major headlines fixated on Dead & Company’s upcoming three-night sold-out stand at Golden Gate Park from August 1 to 3. That lineup, powered by original Grateful Dead founders Bob Weir and Mickey Hart alongside John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Chimenti, and Jay Lane, will feature special guest sets: Billy Strings on Friday, Sturgill Simpson (as Johnny Blue Skies) Saturday, and Trey Anastasio Band on Sunday. The scope is unprecedented—a genuine homecoming for the Dead back to the park where their legend started sixty years ago, as spotlighted by Consequence.
The city’s gone all in. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, over 400 Grateful Dead banners line major thoroughfares, transit agency Muni’s unveiled psychedelic “Trippy Trains” and “Pschedelibuses,” and local businesses from Union Square to Haight-Ashbury are reporting a huge uptick in bookings and sales. Hotel demand is up over 50 percent according to city officials, who hope this celebration goes beyond nostalgia and helps revive San Francisco’s battered hospitality sector with an expected $31 million economic impact, similar to 2023’s Oracle Park Dead & Company weekend.
More than concerts, this is now a multi-week festival of Deadhead culture. Axios reveals Shakedown Street returns as a city-sanctioned bazaar on JFK Promenade, and the Aug. 3 show will be livestreamed not just online via nugs.net but also in IMAX theaters across San Francisco. There’s a marathon of related city events: art shows such as Mickey Hart’s “Art at the Edge of Magic” at Haight Street Art Center, academic panels, Jerry Garcia tributes including the August 2 Jerry Day at his namesake amphitheater, and a block of Harrington Street renamed in Garcia’s honor according to local station ABC7 News and The Voice SF.
Business owners like Neil Holbrook of O’Reilly’s Pub are rolling out late-night parties and live music, while Dead fans across generations—from teens to septuagenarians—are flooding into town, hoping to soak up that loyal, intergenerational vibe. According to SF Chronicle, a 50th anniversary deluxe reissue of “Blues for Allah,” packed with two hours of unreleased live and rehearsal tracks, arrives September 12—a story for collectors that’s getting buzz online among fans. On social media, #Dead60 and #GratefulDead are trending as footage of citywide prep, psychedelic bus rides, and soundchecks surface in the usual Deadhead groups, with Dead & Company’s official channels pushing nugs.net’s global livestream, promising what they call the biggest Grateful Dead party in a generation.
No credible news has surfaced suggesting any surprise artists appearing outside those already billed, though rumor mills buzz about possible Bay Area guest sit-ins later in the weekend. If it happens, I’ll keep watch, but for now, everything about the Grateful Dead’s 60th is fully on parade—making headlines not as nostalgia, but as a massive, citywide affirmation of the enduring Deadhead spirit.
