Exploring unique interpretations of Grateful Dead music, SKULL & ROSES 6 will be a 3-day psychedelic explosion. Deadheads new and old from across the universe will flock, rejoice and “flashback”. Beachside at the Ventura County Fairgrounds – where eleven iconic Grateful Dead concerts transpired from 1982-1987 – will once again serve as the backdrop over the weekend of April 19-21st. The vibes and the music will be as great as you remember, because it lives on…where, “We can all be together, forever and ever, when we make it to the promised land.”
Dark Star Orchestra will recreate a Grateful Dead show with their own unique twist in what is sure to be an epic headlining performance. Sages & Spirits, who passionately carry on the message and anthems of the beloved Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band with an incredible lineup of all-star players, will again grace the stage and batting 6 of 6, Melvin Seals & JGB return to share their special mix of all the tunes you know and love. Check out the full lineup below!
WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2024:
Multi-stage setup
Beachside camping; sprawl out in the Family & Sober Camp in the grass or drive in and enjoy the various options of RV and auto camping
Intimate PRIMO viewing options plus all the other VIP bells & whistles
There are no official vendor passes this year, as Shakedown will be “old school, lot style” where Heads will vend where they camp
Hungry hippies will relish in a greatly expanded food lineup
And a BONUS Thursday night kick-off party, free to campers and weekend pass holders
The ritual is happening on the most sacred of Grateful Dead grounds. Don't miss the celebration with friends, family and the community. “Take a vacation, fall out for a while. Summer’s comin’ in…”
Early Bird tickets are on sale today, Thursday, November 16th at 11:11am PST while they last along with auto & RV camping plus hotel rooms. See you at the beach!
