Playing in the Sand is a long, strange trip in Mexico. Join Dead & Company on the beach as they perform for three nights along the Caribbean shore. This all-inclusive vacation includes a room at the Moon Palace Cancún as well as access to our one of a kind beachfront venue, providing a surreal backdrop to this incredibly intimate event. Spend your days lounging on the beach, enjoy exclusive pool party performances from support artists hand-picked by Dead & Company, or choose to explore the rich natural history of the region via one of our off-site adventures. Each night guests will stroll down the white sandy beach to our custom concert area, complete with a beach club, performance artists, a la carte food and beverage options, art installations, and state of the art lights, video and audio. Simply put, Playing in the Sand is the ultimate trip for fans of the Grateful Dead and their families.

We look forward to seeing you on the beach January 7-10 & 13-16, 2022. We understand that some package holders have concerns about the recent COVID-19 surge and anyone no longer interested in attending either weekend may now request a refund. Please refer to the Playing in the Sand update email sent today (12/29) for more details about refund requests due by 5PM ET on December 31, 2021.

CID Presents and Dead & Company strongly advise guests, if eligible, to be boosted against COVID-19 before traveling to Mexico.

As many of you know by now, the demand for Playing in the Sand 2022 has been unprecedented. The event is now sold out. For that reason we are exploring options that would allow us to satisfy as much of the demand as possible. These options include potentially adding an additional weekend of Playing in the Sand 2022.

Please sign up for the waitlist if you are interested in attending Playing in the Sand 2022 on an additional weekend.
