THE GRATEFUL DEAD MOVIE 2025 MEET-UP

Grateful Dead celebrate their 60th Anniversary with a highly anticipated return to big screens for the annual theatrical event “Meet-Up At The Movies” in select territories worldwide on August 14.

For a limited time only, this special cinematic event allows fans to come together and celebrate the enduring legacy of the Grateful Dead. This year, Rhino Entertainment and Trafalgar Releasing present the Dead’s eponymous film THE GRATEFUL DEAD MOVIE. This fan-favorite cult classic follows the legendary band on what at the time was believed to be their final performances, a five-night run at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom in October of 1974, the final night billed as “The Last One.” Featuring stellar live performances, mind-bending animation, interviews with band members and crew, the film has a rare focus on the band’s fans and their deep commitment to the Dead Head lifestyle. Be sure to stay till the end for the exclusive theatrical premier of “China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider”, a bonus live performance from the October ‘74 Winterland shows not included in the official film release.

New this year, in addition to traditional cinema, THE GRATEFUL DEAD MOVIE will grace IMAX® screens in select territories worldwide! This larger than life presentation has been remastered by IMAX for sound and picture for an immersive and powerful experience, making this a must-see event.

David Lemieux, Grateful Dead archivist and legacy manager, said after experiencing the film in IMAX - “it was the greatest screening I’ve ever experienced of a film I’ve seen hundreds of times”.
