San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie announced Monday that that city is planning to welcome Dead & Company for a series of concerts at Golden Gate Park this summer to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Grateful Dead.

"From Haight-Ashbury and the Grateful Dead house to Ingleside, where Jerry Garcia grew up, the Grateful Dead is embedded in San Francisco's history," Lurie said in a statement. "The weekend will celebrate our city's creative spirit, boost our local economy, and bring generations of fans together. This is more than just a concert—it's a San Francisco homecoming."

Three shows would take place at the Polo Fields on Aug. 1, 2 and 3, one week before the annual Outside Lands music festival, according to city officials. The shows would be presented by Another Planet Entertainment and co-produced with Live Nation, in partnership with the city's Recreation and Park Department.
