Bob Weir has announced four concerts in Colorado this summer.
Bob Weir and the Wolf Bros will play concerts at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre on June 8 and June 9. The group will also perform at Vail's Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater on June 11 and June 12.
The dates mark their first live shows since Chicago in March 2020.
“Been too long, but I can’t think of a better place to pick it back up," said Weir of his upcoming Colorado performances.
The Wolf Bros consist of Bob Weir, Don Was and Jay Lane. The Colorado concerts will also feature Jeff Chimenti on keys and Greg Leisz on pedal steel, along with The Wolfpack: Alex Kelly, Brian Switzer, Adam Theis, Mads Tolling and Sheldon Brown.

Red Rocks reopened Thursday, April 22 with a capacity of 2,500 people. The venue has the potential to allow more people at shows if COVID-19 conditions improve. Red Rocks’ normal capacity is just over 9,500 people.
