From Phish
“Magnaball, Phish’s tenth festival which takes place this coming weekend, is now completely sold out. We will not be selling any tickets onsite at the festival. If you don’t have a ticket, PLEASE DO NOT COME TO MAGNABALL. If you have tickets and are coming, please carpool – it saves gas, decreases traffic congestion and will allow everyone a little more space to stretch out in the campground.
For those of you unable to join us on site this weekend, there are several ways for you to experience Magnaball from afar. First, LivePhish.com will be webcasting a multi-cam shoot each night. A 3-night Webcast pass is available for pre-order now at http://livephi.sh/Magnaball.”

From Dead & Company
“The news is out, all over town… Mickey, Bill, and Bob have joined forces with Grammy Winning singer/guitarist John Mayer to form the band Dead and Company. The band will take the stage at the legendary Madison Square Garden on Halloween night, October 31, 2015 and will perform two sets of music drawing largely from the Dead’s historic catalog of songs.
The Fare Thee Well shows were a record-setting success, and ignited enthusiasm for more concerts featuring Grateful Dead members. “There is a place where music, dreams and magic come together,” said Hart. “Grateful Dead music is a portal to that place. It was built to last!”
“Fare Thee Well proved to me that I’m not done exploring new rhythmic territory with Mickey – I’m recommending that everyone puts their helmet on, because we are going to blast our way into some serious drums and space,” said Kreutzmann. “And with Mayer riding shotgun with Weir – we’re in good company, so to speak.”
Mayer will join Hart, Kreutzmann and Weir, along with Allman Brothers’ bassist Oteil Burbridge and Fare Thee Well and RatDog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti. “I deeply love the Dead’s music, and it has inspired me in ways I never imagined. To help carry this music is the opportunity and the honor of a lifetime,” Mayer said.
“We’re not done with these songs and they’re not done with us,” said Weir. “We’re gonna take these old friends on some new adventures.”
Tickets will go on-sale to the general public Friday, August 14th at 10am ET. American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning Monday, August 10th at 10am local through Thursday, August 13th at 10pm local. Tickets can be purchased at ticketmaster.com. Top tier tickets will be priced under $100, and a number of $50 tickets will be made available in honor of the Grateful Dead’s 50th Anniversary.”

“We are headed to Syracuse for two big nights October 30 & 31, but not before we hit Boston proper. It’s the first time since 2010 that we are visiting either of these cities!
Things kick off on October 29 at Boston’s Orpheum Theatre – home of the complete “Hot Air Balloon” rock opera on a Halloween night in 2007!
Then, it’s on to Syracuse! The F Shed is up first – so come welcome us to town Friday, October 30 before we all head to the Crouse Hinds Theater for the big Halloween throwdown! We are beginning and ending the run with 2 very classy theaters – if you’ve never been to the Crouse Hinds Theater, check it out and, tomorrow, we’ll launch a fun Halloween run contest on our Facebook page….
Tickets for all 3 shows will be available through a BiscoTix Fanclub Presale on Wednesday, August 5 starting at 10am ET.”
