Relix Announces Return of Psychedelic, Multi-Sensory “Jerry Dance Party” After Phish at MSG


Relix has announced the return of “The Jerry Dance Party,” a special, immersive late-night audio/visual experience held at ZeroSpace in New York City. It will occur on Dec. 28, 29, and 30 immediately after Phish’s New Year’s performances at Madison Square Garden. (ZeroSpace is conveniently located just one block from the Garden.)

“The three-night Jerry Dance Party at ZeroSpace is a chance for Deadheads and Phisheads alike to experience the mind-bending marriage of cutting-edge audio-visual technology with the timeless music of the Grateful Dead.” says concert promoter and Relix publisher Peter Shapiro.

According to event organizers, the three-night art-tech event will feature “custom projections, interactive LED screens, projection mapped floors, synchronized illuminations, the largest augmented reality sandbox in the world and more, all tuned to the magical sounds of the Dead.” Additionally, ZeroSpace will feature a 3D mapped, 30-foot geodesic dome synchronized to “Drums & Space” all night long.

This three-night event comes on the heels of the successful inaugural edition of “The Jerry Dance Party,” held after Dead & Company’s Halloween run at Madison Square Garden. DJ Jerrbrother will continue his Jerry Party tenure at the event, as well.

“The shows we did around Dead & Company were over the top and we can’t wait to return to ZeroSpace,” says Stephen Grybowski, co-producer of The Jerry Dance Party. “We’re taking some of the most psychedelic art-tech available and pairing it with the most amazing song catalog known to man. Our goal is to bring the energy and vibe of the early events produced by The Merry Pranksters into 2019. I have a feeling they’d be very proud.”

The Jerry Dance Party will feature concert-quality sound throughout each room so jam fans can dance to the Dead until dawn.

And as if these three nights weren’t enough, the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, N.Y. is hosting a similar event, “A Very Jerry Holiday Dance Party,” on Dec. 27.

“At the Dec. 27 ‘Very Jerry Holiday Dance Party’ you can experience The Capitol Theatre like never before, as the ghosts of Grateful Dead past come alive to our amazing, state-of-the-art sights and sounds,” adds Shapiro.

Tickets are priced at $30 per night and are available now.
