Dark Star Orchestra Outline East Coast and Midwest Winter Tour Dates

Dark Star Orchestra has announced the second leg of their winter tour. The band that is known for their live reinterpretations of Grateful Dead performances will bring their talents to the East Coast beginning on March 6, 2026, at the Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank, N.J. The new slate of live dates comes after the group’s West Coast excursion, with shows concentrated in January and February. 

After night one in the Garden State, the band will take their love for the Grateful Dead to the Foxwood Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., on March 7, before following up less than a week later on March 12 at the Palace in Minneapolis. The aforementioned stop kicks off a series of Midwest gigs, including stops in Milwaukee, Wis. (March 13), Chicago (March 14), and Newport, Ky. (March 15). 

The tour will proceed on March 18, when the band makes a stop at Kemba Live in Columbus, followed by a night at Pittsburgh’s Stage AE on March 19. The last stops of this run will occur over two nights, March 20-21, on the F.M. Kirby Center stage in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 

A fan pre-sale is underway, using the code: SCARLET. General on-sale will come on Friday, Jan. 9, at 10 a.m.
