Tour dates for The Dead have been announced for a short Spring Tour in 2009. The dates appear below.

Dead Tour ticket information is still sparse at this point, but it appears there will be a ticket presale for all Spring Tour concerts on Tuesday January 13 and a public sale for all shows on the 23rd of January. No word on mail order, but we are guessing these presales will be through Music Today. More details will probably be released next week and we will post an update if they are.

The four remaining core members of the Grateful Dead - Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann - will play on the tour, marking the first time since 2004 they have toured with that lineup. They will be joined by jam band tour circuit utility man Warren Haynes and Jeff Chimenti, the keyboardist for Bob Weir's other band, Ratdog.
