New Videos!
We’ve added a video of the second of three performances at the wonderful German Playing in the Band festival in August ’22.

Plus you can catch nearly 4 hours of multi-tracked, multi-cam Dudes live from Playing on the Farm 2022 to give you a flavour of what’s to come this Summer. You can find part one here and part two here.

News from the Dudes with dates to see out the year!


Greeting Dudes, friends and family!

What an amazing 6 weeks we’ve had!

From our celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Europe 72 tour through a well received show at the Fiddlers Elbow and on to an amazing time playing for friends old and new in Germany finally capped off with a wonderful show for our return to Hebden Bridge last Sunday. It’s been wonderful having so many shows close together and we hope to do more of it next year.

And our next gigs at the Fiddler’s Elbow in Camden Town, London NW5 3HS are on Friday 9 September and Friday 4 November.  Tickets at https://buytickets.at/gratefuldudes

The September show might have a small increase in audience as we hear there is great excitement for the DSO show in London the following week and there may be more Deadheads looking to join us. Buy early and I know you’ll make everyone welcome!

We also have a set of new dates for 2023. Tickets available at  the box office link above. We will try to make a special carnet style ticket if you’re planning on coming to all the shows so hold off purchasing for next year until closer to the end of this if you’re planning on catching them all.

No ticket link yet but soon that will up. Save the date for now for what may well ben our last show of the year. And, following the great success of the event last month, and by popular demand, Playing on the Farm will be back at Abbey Home Farm, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire, 7 – 9 July 2023 with the Dudes headlining Saturday 8 July.

Please alert all Deadheads young and old who missed out this year. It’s going to be bigger and better with more details to follow as we get closer.

Save all the dates!
