Six decades after the Grateful Dead’s first notes echoed across the San Francisco Peninsula, Deadheads everywhere will reunite under the silver-screen glow for the annual “Meet-Up At The Movies.” This year’s cinematic gathering features the triumphant return of THE GRATEFUL DEAD MOVIE—the 1977 concert film revered for its electrifying Winterland performances, psychedelic animation, and candid behind-the-scenes interviews with the band and crew.
For the first time, the film has been meticulously remastered by IMAX for both picture and sound, allowing select IMAX venues to join traditional cinemas in delivering the most immersive presentation of THE GRATEFUL DEAD MOVIE ever experienced. Fans can expect Jerry Garcia and Leon Gast’s visionary mix of live energy and cosmic artistry to envelop theaters with the clarity and power of a front-row seat.
The one-night-only global screening takes place Thursday, August 14, part of the band’s ongoing 60th-anniversary celebrations. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, June 26 at www.MeetUpAtTheMovies.com and participating box offices. Early sign-ups at the website will unlock local theater details, reminder alerts, and exclusive Deadhead updates.
Produced in partnership with Rhino Entertainment, dead.net, nugs.net, SiriusXM, and worldwide distributor Trafalgar Releasing, the 2025 Meet-Up extends a beloved tradition that has brought the Dead community together in theaters every summer for more than a decade. Whether reliving Winterland’s magic or discovering it for the first time, audiences can expect two hours of stellar musicianship, swirling tie-dye visuals, and the unmistakable spirit of collective joy that defines the Grateful Dead experience.
Join friends, family, and fellow travelers on August 14 to celebrate the music, the legacy, and the never-ending story of the Grateful Dead—this time on the biggest screens on Earth.
