Dark Star Orchestra at Orpheum Theatre Boston

Fall Tour 2025

Yeah fam - there’s nothing like a night at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston — this old hall has seen legends come and go, it's a stage soaked with decades of lthe greatest coming and rocking out here for summer nights on end. And on Friday, November 14th, 2025, another chapter gets written when Dark Star Orchestra rolls through town. For those who know, you already know — DSO brings the Grateful Dead right back to life in front of our faces every time they hit the stage, note for note, jam for jam, with all the improvisational fire and soulful sound that ead the heartbeat of a generation. And for the folks stepping into this arena for the first time? Buckle up baby,’cause you’re in for a lesson of the golden era of rock and roll - and quite frankly, we're so here for it.  

Dark Star Orchestra has been keeping the flame alive since the late ’90s, recreating entire Grateful Dead setlists as if they wrote the songs themselves - and with a whole lot of heart too.They got their claim to fame with the groove, stretch the jams, and let the songs breathe the way they were meant to —so much so that they truly seem as if they are having mystical conversation the Dead always had. The crowd knows the crack of the snare on “Bertha” to the spacey spirals of “Dark Star” itself, the band delivers the real-deal live experience, and they do it with a love that longtime Deadheads can feel in their bones.And where it stands right now, this tour is shaping up to be one of their biggest yet, a coast-to-coast celebration of the music that will be classic forever it feels. Especially here in Orpheum - the halls are filling with old friends and new faces, all here to rage and headband with all the hits from our fav Dead heas. And when DSO hits Boston, it’s more than a show, it’s a gathering. The Orpheum will be alive with tie-dye, twirling, and that vibe that makes this scene unlike any other.

So dust off your dancing shoes, warm up the cider - 'cause we are getting ready to drift back to when the music was free, wild, and endlessly alive. Friday, November 14th — Dark Star Orchestra at the Orpheum Theatre. The groove is waiting, the jams will be flowing, and the spirit will be in the air. Come ready to sway, sing, and lose yourself in the long, strange trip once again.
