Terrapin Flyer at Ballydoyle in Downers Grove

Terrapin Flyer is one of the premier and most established Grateful Dead touring acts in the United States returns to the Ballydoyle in Downers Grove IL. For over two decades, this Chicago-based band has been keeping the spirit of improvisational jam music alive, performing with a rotating cast of top-tier musicians from the Grateful Dead community. They are famous for their high-energy, authentic interpretations of classic Dead tunes, deep cuts, and Jerry Garcia Band favorites. Over the years, legendary artists like Melvin Seals (Jerry Garcia Band), Tom Constanten (former Grateful Dead keyboardist), and Mark Karan (The Other Ones/RatDog) have regularly joined them on stage, cementing their reputation as a must-see act for Deadheads and live music lovers alike.
BallyDoyle Irish Pub & Restaurant provides a warm, energetic atmosphere that brings you closer to the music than a massive festival or theater stage. The venue's historic charm and wood-accented space create a rich, resonant sound perfect for improvisational jams.
You can pair an evening of incredible music with BallyDoyle's extensive selection of craft beers, fine whiskeys, and elevated pub fare. BallyDoyle is a staple of downtown Downers Grove, making it the perfect hub for local music fans to gather, dance, and share a memorable night.
