The Grateful Dead Movie will return to theaters this summer as part of the 2025 edition of “Meet-Up At The Movies,” with early screenings in IMAX on August 13 and a general release on August 14.

Originally released in 1977 and co-directed by Jerry Garcia and Leon Gast, the film documents the band’s five-night run at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom in 1974. It includes live performances, behind-the-scenes footage, animation, and rare moments focused on the Grateful Dead’s devoted fan base.

This marks the first time the film will be presented in IMAX, with newly remastered sound and picture. An exclusive bonus performance of “China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider” will be shown in theaters following the film.

The Grateful Dead Movie is presented by Rhino Entertainment and Trafalgar Releasing.
