Dark Star Orchestra at College Street Music Hall New Haven

College Street Music Hall welcomes Dark Star Orchestra on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at 7:30 pm for an unforgettable night celebrating the music and legacy of the Grateful Dead. Known for their authenticity and musical precision, Dark Star Orchestra has been performing for more than two decades, recreating the energy and atmosphere of the Dead’s legendary live shows.
Each performance is built around the Grateful Dead’s extensive catalog—sometimes replicating actual historical set lists, and other times curating unique combinations of classic songs. The result is a powerful mix of nostalgia and fresh improvisation that captures the spirit of the original band while offering a one-of-a-kind concert experience.
This event features General Admission standing room on the floor and reserved seating in the balcony. VIP upgrades are available, offering early venue access, an exclusive signed poster, a souvenir ticket, and early shopping access to DSO merchandise.
Having performed more than 3,000 shows worldwide, including at major festivals and venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Dark Star Orchestra continues to deliver the music, emotion, and communal spirit that define the Grateful Dead experience.
College Street Music Hall is located at 238 College Street, New Haven, Connecticut. Tickets and VIP upgrades are available through the venue’s website and box office.
