This summer, Deadheads from across the U.S. will gather in San Francisco for the 60th anniversary of the Grateful Dead, with a three-day concert by Dead & Company at Golden Gate Park from August 1-3. This celebration, announced by Mayor Daniel Lurie, comes after a similarly massive celebration for the band's 50th anniversary in 2015.
