Tomorrow, on November 11, Dark Star Orchestra will celebrate the 18th anniversary of their first performance. They are also coming up on their 2500th show, which will come at the House of Blues in Boston, MA on November 18.

Besides the milestones, DSO have announced the theme for their New Year’s Eve shows: “Let It Shine!” The concerts will take place December 30–31 at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia, PA, and will feature an interactive, multi-media experience in which the band integrates suggestions from their fans. There will also be a costume contest and cirque performers.

Tickets for the New Year’s run are available here.

DSO will also be heading back to Jamaica on January 19–23 for their fourth Jam in the Sand destination event featuring Steve Kimock’s Jerry Garcia tribute and Peter Rowans Bluegrass Band. More information is available here.
