Dark Star Orchestra in Ventura

The acclaimed Grateful Dead tribute band will perform at Ventura Music Hall on February 2, 2026. This marks another welcome return to the coastal venue for Dark Star Orchestra, who consistently sell out shows throughout California.

Known for their commitment to authenticity, DSO performs complete historic Grateful Dead shows with precise attention to musical details, equipment choices, and even stage arrangements. Since forming in 1997, the band has performed over 3,000 shows, often surprising audiences by revealing which specific Dead concert they’ve recreated only at the end of their performance. Whether you’re a dedicated Deadhead or new to the jam band scene, this promises to be an immersive musical journey through the rich legacy of the Grateful Dead’s extensive touring history. Doors open at 7pm.
