The Great South Bay Music Festival has added a distinctive hallmark to its imminent programming, slated for Shorefront Park in Patchogue, N.Y., from July 23 through 26, 2026. During the event’s final day, a one-off Bob Weir celebration will bring together members of the progressive bluegrass community, rock-rooted players, and jazz-trained innovators with an Americana lilt on a single stage to share in the songs and spirit of the Grateful Dead, by way of the group’s venerable rhythm guitarist.
According to the latest festival dispatch, the Great South Bay Music Festival’s Sunday schedule will now host a slot dubbed “Bob Weir Celebration.” Trailing the title are the list of participating musicians: Andy Falco (Infamous Stringdusters), Rob Eaten (Dark Star Orchestra), Alwyn Robinson (Leftover Salmon), Eric Finland (Eric Krasno), and Patrick Falco (Cosmic Orch, who will deliver “timeless jams, soulful improvisation, and that unmistakable Dead energy taking over the shoreline.”
Beyond the newly added entertainment, the event’s first day, Thursday, July 23, will include performances by The Used, Bayside, Cartel, and Koyo, before the figurative baton is passed to Friday players, Sublime, Common Kings, The Ries Brothers, Project Vibe, and Oogee Wawa. Saturday will see the arrival of acts like Gov’t Mule, Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers, Sierra Hull, LaMP, ahead of Sunday’s finale and subsequent sets from My Morning Jacket, Little Feat, Taz, and the Weir tribute.
