Alex Biese | Asbury Park Press

Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh is planning a trio of surprise parties for East Coast Deadheads in honor of his 80th birthday in 2020.

Phil Lesh and Friends just announced a three-show run at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, located in New York's Westchester County on Friday, March 13, Saturday, March 14 and Sunday, March 15 — the final date being Lesh's actual birthday.

Here's the surprise: Lesh's ensemble will reportedly feature "various lineups of old and new friends," according to a news release, but the exact roster won't be announced until the evening of each show.

Tickets are $59.75 to $196.50 in advance, $64.75 to $201.50 day of show, and will be available via Ticketmaster starting at noon on Friday, Jan. 3. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 each night.

Lesh was previously scheduled to perform at the Capitol Theatre over Halloween weekend, but those dates were postponed due to Lesh needing time to recover from back surgery; according to the venue's website, Phil-o-Ween tickets will be honored on corresponding nights during the March birthday run.
