Fare Thee Well Heading to Theaters for Live Broadcast

Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of Grateful Dead, the reunion of Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, and Bob Weir at Chicago’s Soldier Field, will be broadcast live July 3, 4, and 5 in select theaters. The nightly five-hour screenings will start at 8 p.m. EDT/7 p.m. CDT/6 p.m. MDT/5 p.m. PDT.

Fathom Events, which is distributing the concert in association with Peter Shapiro and Madison House, will put tickets on sale May 4. Local theaters determine ticket prices.

“What Fathom and the cinemas offer is a feeling of community, shared interest and energy,” says John Rubey, CEO of Fathom Events. “This is a trans-generational event.”

Fathom has been involved in the first four Grateful Dead Meet-up at the Movies, which this year will be held May 4 and feature a screening of a show from July 19, 1989 at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin

The distributor, owned by the three major theater chains, has a network of about 1,100 theaters across the country owned by the major chains — Regal, AMC, Cinemark and Carmilke — and they continue to expand, recently signing up Alamo Drafthouse.
