In honor of Dead & Company‘s Final Tour, the Chicago Cubs will celebrate the group’s musical legacy with a Grateful Dead night at Wrigley Field. The commemoration is set for Tuesday, May 23rd when the Cubs play the New York Mets, weeks before Dead & Company perform at the historic Chicago ballpark on June 9th and 10th.
Fans who purchase a ticket to the Chicago Cubs’ Grateful Dead night will have their choice between five colored special-edition bobbleheads. Tickets to the game are on sale here. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Dead’s charitable arm, Rex Foundation, a non-profit established to support local organizations making an impact on the arts, sciences, education, social justice, and the environment.
