Dead & Company's farewell tour to stop at Ruoff

Dead & Company will make a fitting final stop at Ruoff Music Center on June 27 as part of the band's recently announced farewell tour.

Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Oct. 14 through Ticketmaster's website, livemu.sc/3CFbl1S.

The band, consisting of former Grateful Dead members Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Bob Weir with singer-songwriter John Mayer up front, has made Noblesville a regular tour stop since forming in 2015. Their latest and apparently final Ruoff gig comes nearly a year to the day after the group's most recent stop last June.

The Grateful Dead, prior to guitarist Jerry Garcia's death, was also a regular fixture at then-Deer Creek. The band's last Noblesville appearance in 1995 became infamous after fans broke through a fence near the lawn, leading to chaos, multiple injuries and the cancellation of the following night's show.

Last month, Dead & Company announced its intent to stop touring after 2023. According to a news release, the band has played 143 unique songs at 164 concerts, drawing nearly 4 million people, since its formation.
