Get ready for a cosmic journey through rock history as Dark Star Orchestra lights up the Stone Pony Summer Stage with their legendary tribute to the Grateful Dead. For over two decades and thousands of shows, DSO has been channeling the magic of Jerry Garcia and company — note for note, night after night.
Every performance is a deep dive into the Dead’s timeless catalog, whether it’s a faithful recreation of a classic setlist from a historic night, or a one-of-a-kind performance inspired by the band’s improvisational legacy. With top-tier musicianship and a deep love for the source material, Dark Star Orchestra doesn’t just play Grateful Dead songs — they live them.
Whether you’re a lifelong Deadhead or a newcomer to the scene, this show promises a vibrant, communal experience that keeps the spirit of the Dead alive for a new generation.
