DEAD & COMPANY TO PLAY AT CITI FIELD JUNE 25 & 26

FLUSHING, N.Y., February 8, 2016 – The New York Mets and Live Nation announced that Dead & Company will perform at Citi Field Saturday, June 25 and Sunday, June 26. Tickets go on sale to the general public Saturday, February 13 at 10:00 a.m. at mets.com/DeadandCompany.

Dead & Company grew out of last summer’s hugely successful Grateful Dead farewell concerts, dubbed Fare Thee Well. Those shows featured original band members Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzman, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, along with musical guests Trey Anastasio of Phish and singer/keyboardist Bruce Hornsby. Just weeks later, Dead & Company announced a fall tour, with a new lineup featuring singer and guitarist John Mayer, keyboardist Jeff Chimenti and Otiel Burbridge, formerly of the Allman Brothers Band. Dead & Company played 19 shows through New Year’s Eve, offering a set laden with Grateful Dead standards and a few choice covers.

BEYONCÉ TO PLAY AT CITI FIELD TUESDAY, JUNE 7

FLUSHING, N.Y., February 7, 2016– The New York Mets and Live Nation tonight announced that the multiple-Grammy winning artist Beyoncé will perform at Citi Field Tuesday, June 7. Tickets go on sale to the general public Tuesday, February 16 at 10:00 a.m. online at Ticketmaster.com and by calling Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000.

Billboard named her the Top Female Artist of the 2000s after she cultivated a catalog of hits that transcend chart achievements. Her songs “Crazy in Love,” “Irreplaceable,” and “Single Ladies” all topped the Hot 100 and helped Beyoncé become the queen of pop-culture pantheon. On stage, her dynamic, highly-choreographed performances have critics likening her to the best entertainers of the past and hailing her as one of the best entertainers in contemporary popular music.

Beyoncé will be performing at Citi Field for the first time, bringing her talent to the ballpark after her hugely successful On the Run Tour in 2014 and her appearance in tonight’s Super Bowl 50 halftime show.
