Euro Happenings With RatDog

RatDog, the Bob Weir-led group, will make the rounds on the European festival circuit this summer. Starting June 28, the band will visit the U.K., Switzerland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy on their three-week-long trek.

Shortly after their return to the States, RatDog will participate in the Terrapin Station festival. In addition to performing with his band, Weir will take to the stage with his fellow former Dead bandmates as The Other Ones for a couple of rare concerts that are sure to thrill any Deadheads.

Just before and following the Terrapin Station reunion, RatDog will hook up with Phil Lesh & Friends for a few shows.

Formed in 1995 as Weir’s side project band, RatDog Revue as it was known then, quickly moved from a just-for-kicks group to Weir’s mainstay following the death of Grateful Dead leader Jerry Garcia.

Like most jam bands, RatDog keep up a consistent touring schedule. They’ve logged 34 shows this year alone.
