# Dead & Company Summer Tour 2018

The Dead & Company Summer Tour 2018 is a concert tour by the rock band Dead & Company during May, June, and July 2018. It is the band’s fifth tour, following their 2017 Fall Tour (which overflowed into 2018 after several shows were postponed when John Mayer had an emergency appendectomy). The tour comprises a total of 24 concerts in 19 different cities between May 30 and July 14, 2018.
Prior to the 2018 Summer Tour, in addition to the three rescheduled dates from the 2017 Fall tour, the band performed three shows — February 15, 17 and 18 — at the Barceló Maya resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico. The event, billed as a "concert vacation", was called Playing In The Sand (a pun on the Grateful Dead song "Playing in the Band"). They wrapped up the summer tour with a two-night stop at the Lockn' Festival.
The band Dead & Company includes three former members of the Grateful Dead – Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, and Mickey Hart – along with Mayer, Jeff Chimenti, and Oteil Burbridge.
