Grateful Dead co-founder Bobby Weir has announced a very special show with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Saturday, June 21, 2025. The performance will mark Weir’s first appearance at this iconic venue and first show in London in over two decades.
Weir will be joined by his Wolf Bros bandmates: GRAMMY-winning producer Don Was on bass, along with Dead & Company bandmates Jeff Chimenti on piano and Jay Lane on drums.
The evening will feature two full sets of music, including reimagined Grateful Dead classics, selections from Weir’s solo catalog, and beloved songs from Weir’s career, all performed for the first time in the UK with a full 68-piece orchestra.
This orchestral project debuted in the U.S. in 2022 with a sold-out four-night run at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., where Weir and his bandmates performed with the National Symphony Orchestra.
Building on that debut, Weir has brought the project across the US including stops with the Stanford Symphony Orchestra, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, Chicago Philharmonic, and the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra at the famed Saenger Theater. The original arrangements are crafted by Stanford professor and composer Dr. Giancarlo Aquilanti.
Tickets for the Royal Albert Hall performance will be available through a series of presales beginning Wednesday, April 2 at 2PM BST and the general on sale will follow on Friday, April 4 at 4PM BST. Fans can sign up for the artist presale at www.bobweir.net.
