Dead & Company (With John Mayer) Are Coming to Phoenix in 2017

The former members of Grateful Dead made waves in the jam band community last year when they selected John Mayer to join the cause.

The move raised eyebrows, since the band was essentially selecting the singer-songwriter to fill in for late Grateful Dead founder Jerry Garcia.

But it worked out ... kind of well?

Dead & Company's 2015 tour was a massive success, selling out arenas and amassing critical praise throughout the run. The group just announced its 2017 tour, which will include a stop at Ak-Chin Pavilion on Sunday, May 28.

The group's membership consists of Grateful Dead members Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Bob Weir;  Mayer; Allman Brothers bassist Oteil Burbridge; and RatDog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti.

Tickets go on sale Friday, December 9, at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster.
