Few fan bases are as passionate as Deadheads — the iconic name given to the devoted followers of the Grateful Dead. Since the early 1970s, “Deadheads” have not only been credited with creating their own counterculture but they’ve also been known for their unwavering loyalty to the American Rock Band. Whether it’s traveling far and wide to see the “Touch of Grey” performers or buying every piece of merch on the market, Deadheads are some of the most faithful supporters out there.
So, if you consider yourself a member of this community (and if you’re reading this article, then you probably do), you need to check out Walmart’s secret Grateful Dead band tee section. The chain retailer has more than 400 different Grateful Dead shirts available for purchase — including short-sleeve silhouettes and crewneck sweatshirts — on its site, and almost everything is under $35 (which is a hell of a lot cheaper than what you would pay at a live show).

From limited-edition holiday styles (take a look at this shamrock one for St. Patrick’s Day) to everyday tie-dye tees, Walmart’s Grateful Dead collection is made with high-quality materials and can help make you feel like you’re “Playing In The Band.” But act fast because while plenty of sizes are still left — the shirts typically range between XS to 2XL — we don’t expect them to last long. And while you’re at it, you might as well add Dead & Company: Dead Forever Live at Sphere tickets to your cart, too.
