Time Out says

Set smack in the middle of the city’s Civic Center, Bill Graham Civic Auditorium is a sprawling, 7,000 capacity venue that plays host to big-name performers as well as major tech events. Constructed as part of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, it once hosted the 1920 Democratic National Convention and was home to the Golden State Warriors from 1964 to 1966. In the sixties and seventies, famous area concert promoter Bill Graham started booking major acts at the venue, and in turn, it was renamed in his honor in 1992.

What’s on

Steve Aoki

Steve Aoki’s shows are never just about the music—they’re a full-throttle spectacle that feels like a party you’ll be talking about for weeks. If you’ve caught him before, you know the drill: relentless beats, wild visuals, and the kind of crowd energy that makes you forget what day it is. But this time, he’s marking 30 years of Dim Mak, so expect him to dig deep into his catalog and pull out some surprises. The venue’s layout means you’ll actually be able to see the action, not just hear it from the back. And yes, the infamous cake toss is still in play, so don’t wear your best shirt unless you’re hoping to go home with frosting in your hair. If you’re looking for a night that’s loud, sweaty, and a little bit ridiculous, this is it.

Jack White

Jack White’s live shows have a way of making even the most cavernous venues feel like a secret club. If you’ve caught him before, you know he doesn’t coast on nostalgia or greatest hits—he’s restless, unpredictable and always chasing the next sound. This Bill Graham date lands in the middle of a creative streak that’s seen him veer from raw garage rock to warped blues and back again, sometimes within the same song. The setlists are never fixed, and neither is the mood: one minute you’re in a full-throttle stomp, the next you’re caught off guard by a stripped-down ballad. White’s refusal to play it safe is exactly what makes these nights memorable. If you want a show that feels genuinely alive, where the artist is as invested as the crowd, this is the one to catch.
