on Instagram. The weekend will now feature Dos Hermanos con Amigos.” The post lists Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, Jeff Chimenti, Oteil Burbridge, Jay Lane, Tom Hamilton Jr., as well as special guest Margo Price among the performers remaining on the lineup.
“We came down here to have fun. Unfortunately some of our brothers cannot make it but fun is what we’re going to have,” Bob Weir added in the post. The news comes on the heels of refund issues that have plagued the event and another member dropping out. Earlier in the week, Grateful Dead and founding memberof the concert events, citing health concerns. Lane is filling in for him.
For several weeks preceding the event, concern over the events as Omicron surges has led to Deadheads pressuring concert organizer CID Events to change its policy and offer refunds. CIDlast week that gave ticket holders until Dec. 31 to request a refund. It isn’t immediately clear how refunds might be addressed due to the news that Mayer is also unable to perform. CID wasn’t immediately available to respond.
Can there possibly be another guitar player-singer who knows 6 SHOWS worth of those long intricate songs and jams (and is in the groove with the rest of the band) on 2 DAYS notice? Something tells me Slipknot will not be in the set list.

After seeing vaxxed deadheads finger wag to the unvaxxed dead heads for the entire last tour this is ironic.
The statement does not say he’s pulling out of the 2nd weekend.
Please help us get refunds !! CID refusing to even answer emails !!!
Oh no! That’s terrible.
