Grateful Dead members Mickey Hart, Bill Kretuzmann and Bob Weir, along with buddy John Mayer, have added dates to their upcoming tour as Dead & Company and added Atlanta to the lineup.
The band’s fall run will include a 7:30 p.m. Nov. 17 stop at Philips Arena. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Sept. 18 (Amex card members have access to a pre-sale that begins at 10 a.m. Sept. 16).
Ticket prices are $50 – in honor of the Grateful Dead's 50th anniversary – to $99.

The Dead & Company shows are expected to include two sets of music that draw largely from the band’s historic catalog.
Joining the Dead trio and Mayer will be Allman Brothers’ bassist Oteil Burbridge and RatDog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti.
