Dark Star Orchestra Announces New Tour Dates Through Fall 2026

Dark Star Orchestra has dropped six additional dates for its 2026 fall tour, including a performance at Saranac Brewery in Utica. The newly announced shows follow the Grateful Dead tribute band’s summer run throughout the Northeast, which included stops in LaFayette, Buffalo, Rochester, New York City, Bethel and Lake George.

With more than 3,400 performances under its belt, Dark Star Orchestra has built a fantastic reputation on faithfully recreating the Grateful Dead‘s concert experience. Historically inspired setlists, authentic instrumentation and improvisational spontaneity remain at the core of every performance, creating a unique show each night for longtime Deadheads and new fans alike.

For every ticket sold during the 2026 tour, Dark Star Orchestra will donate $1 to the Grateful Guitars Foundation, a nonprofit that provides instruments to emerging musicians carrying on the jam band tradition.

Additional information, including ticket details, is available on Dark Star Orchestra’s website.
