Fox Theater

Words cannot begin to describe how amazing this show was... the Fox Theater is an intimate venue with a comfortable atmosphere that made it even better. It was my first time at the Fox Theater and also my first time seeing Poppy live and I was already looking forward to the next time her band is in town with great anticipation before they played their last song, even more so if they end up playing at this venue again! Poppy's energy rekindled my love for live shows and the moshpit.

Finally! ~~ and Fantastic! In Quebec City, 1983, some music store folks turned me on to Francis Cabrel. I immediately loved his music, voice, arrangements, et al. Over time, I bought all of his (available) vinyl, then CDs, & DVDs, while hoping that he might tour in the USA. (time passes) and Nope. No tours. So a "Francis Cabrel live concert" wish made its way onto my bucket list. (more time passes) and I start to believe that if I ever hoped to see one of his live concerts, I'd better think about some plan to visit France ~~ see him there. I'm glad that I didn't have to make those extreme & expensive plans because he got booked at the stunning FOX Theater, a venue much closer than France, thank goodness. Anyway .... What a Show!! After all those decades of time passing, the show was everything (& more) of what I might have hoped for .... & I had Great seats, too. I remember it being a full house ~ a very enthusiastic audience, sometimes singing along with their favorite songs ... and it seemed like most people spoke French amongst themselves throughout the evening. It hadn't occurred to me ahead of time that I would be spending the evening with a wonderful group of French, originally from their respective Old Country. I couldn't have had a better time than I did. I've always thought of Francis Cabrel akin to Jackson Browne, by his style of crafting a song & expression of sentiment. If he had played at the FOX Theater a second night, I would have been there, too. The FOX Theater is a beautiful venue to begin with .... and with Francis Cabrel singing his compositions .... I couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening! With a little more luck, I would wish for another Francis Cabrel tour coming through town, just One more time.

The best concert I have ever been to! The whole place was alive! There was so much energy! Meute also came out into the pit area which I have never see a band do! It was absolutely epic! They were everything I thought they were gonna be and more! If you're a fan, this is one band you gotta see live! For the Fox Theater, the acoustics were a bit strong, I would recommend bringing some concert ear plugs just in case. I already have hearing loss in my ears but I definitely went looking for some ear plugs during one of the opening acts.

Didn't have the money to go buy tickets to the concert I love to see her concert and everybody else I'm the biggest fan of all my little music then I miss conscious I mean we'll see you now so it's kind of like what I should go or I shouldn't go because I don't know if he has wheelchair at the school empty in there so hope everybody enjoyed it would love to see it

Great venue, loved the telegraph room! The food and drinks were wonderful, and the room was comfortable, not too loud or crowded. The concert was amazing! The Telegraph room viewing area was relatively close to the stage, and the sound system was really good. I originally bought tickets late, and could only get balcony seats. The add on of the Telegraph room was well worth the $60 fee. I will definitely purchase it again if it is an option for the next show I attend at the Fox Theater.

AMAZING SHOW. This was my first time seeing Travis even though I've been a fan since the early days, I was just never in the right place at the right time. Fran, Dougie, Andy, and Neil brought their best to the fabulous Fox in Oakland, playing everything from fresh material from 2024's LA Times record, like storytelling Raze the Bar, to early hits - now classics - like Good Feeling. For nearly two hours, the four lads from Glasgow who've been together THIRTY YEARS performed favorites like the catchy Selfish Jean and the sing-along Writing to Reach You, as well as newbies like Avalon, Gaslight, and Bus - the first song on stage and soon to be a Travis Classic. Travis brought down the house, closing with the pogo-mandatory Why Does It Always Rain on Me? BRILLIANT. Shout out to Bandsintown for alerting me months ago to this spectacular event. Thank you and remember, Love Will Come Through!

First off The Fox Theater is Top Tier for a good time. Telegraph Room, is an awesome lounge to wait for a show. Snacks etc. full bar…Now let’s get to the show. The sound quality is amazing. The bands all kicked major a**e. And Finally King and his team Murdered the place with a more than Magical Scene. Finally the meet and greet. I was actually able to say a couple words with the King and Andy. Both King and Andy are as friendly and respectful as they always appear. Thank you for Great Time to Everyone (staff/both facilities and bands. And all others that make these shows happen)!!!

Brilliant, personal, hilarious, with great crowd participation. New songs, covers, old favorites, and songs from Rent, Frozen and Wicked. The way she leads in to Frozen is with a whole musical comedy element about the Oscars that you must see. Get the best tickets you can to witness this incredible performer and vocalist, together with a talented band and an amazing fashion design that she strips off piece by piece to make new looks throughout.

Can’t help it—Still miss Jorgen. First set was just fine. Second set was most, most excellent-The way the Mule has delivered at the best shows I’ve seen. Set list was mind blowing and execution was inspired. Warren was very good, not just dialing it in. Matt was absent but John Molo was excellent stand in. The Oakland Fox remains one of the best venues to see a show.

Cannons was great, I enjoyed the show! The band played tight and Michelle Joy was perfect. They are going to be an incredible band and have a great future ahead of them! One huge disappointment was that I bought meet and greet VIP tickets and didn't get to meet or greet anyone. The information give was vague and I got absolutely nothing for $120.00. I am sure this had nothing to do with the band and was pretty much the company future beats lack of clear info. When I bought the tickets I got them on ticket Master and my ticket said 730pm and that's when I went. Only to find out that it was over and to contact future beat. I'm like who the f**k is future beat? So shows you what I know. Nothing apparently.

Been to a lot of older, intimate, and trap-filled shows with Unc. Shared a laugh with the man myself. This is very clearly everything he has ever worked for. Surreal to see him with so many people in one building, reminds me of Drake’s rise. Someday you gotta stop playing Marvin’s Room for the og fans and give the masses what they want… Good Job Larry. Good Job Alc.

I was really disappointed with whoever was running the sound. Both bands had the drums too high. The first act kept asking to boost the vocalist's mic and the guitarist's amp to get above the drums. The sound person just doesn't get it. Set the vocalist's level for the room. Then mix everything else below that. It's the vocals I care about. I could care less about the drummer. I couldn't understand a word of the first act. And most of First Aid Kit. However, the sisters were terrific. They have pipes. Loved the Christine McVie song. And "Emmylou" of course. And the Fox is an amazing venue. We stayed the night at Moxey, just down the street. Loved it. Very convenient. Getting the sound right would make the concerts terrific.

Ari was incredible, the backup vocalists were incredible, the band was on point. There was a moment in the show when a fan/audience member got sick, and Ari saw it happen from stage and STOPPED THE SONG! She made sure her fan got water and assistance from security. It made me like her even more, and I low key didn’t think that was possible. Just a genuine, brilliant, angelic person overall. Won’t miss the chance to go to anotherAri concert in the future.

Some of the best moments are when she takes time between sets and speaks to her fans. It highlights her character and all the things we come to a Fletcher concert for. It did feel the show was a bit rushed in Oakland, as she has 3 back to back shows in LA, and we know she’s heading out right after the performance. It’s also a different feeling going to her performances at the beginning of her tour compared to the end of her tour. Overall, I enjoyed everything completely. I loved getting to see Fletcher twice in one year. I am grateful.

Although the band appeared low-key and singer Ian McCullough only stood away from his center-stage stool for a brief bit at the end, the audience was fully committed to dancing in the aisles, singing aloud and celebrating Echo's litany of explosive songs. This was definitely a milestone and a momentous occasion for fans. The sound was powerful and the set was perfectly orchestrated in the gorgeous and packed art deco theater. Unforgettable.

Absolutely FANTASTIC Show with Hot Tuna & Little Feat. BEYOND my wildest hopes & dreams! EVERY song & musician rocked the night. The graphics & sound & lights @ The Fox Theater were top notch. Crowd was enthusiastic! Hope they will tour Northern California again SOON. Have great videos & photos. No idea how to share. Contact me @ [email protected] if you want to see any. Wonderful evening & balcony view was great! Kathleen

What a dynamite show Caribou brought to the Fox Oakland on Wed, Feb 16. Dan Snaith and company were in fine form. Bringing with him a full band, the sometimes cerebral Caribou really rocked! I was on the edge of my seat. The accompanying light show was a perfect accompaniment to the music, creating a tapestry of sound and light that hypnotized and dazzled. Opening act Ela Minus really didn't add anything. She made some nice sounds on her mix table, recited some Laurie Anderson-esque lyrics and danced around on the stage a bit in almost complete darkness. Not to be too hard on her, she would have been fine in a club, but on the stage of the Fox Oakland she seemed a bit lost.

A performer. Not only were lights, staging, props & costumes stunning (yes this was THAT level of a performance), but the dancing and vocals were stellar. Twigs was as thoughtful, present & emotive as her music would indicate. (The pole dancing & wushu choreo, were visually stunning.) My only regret is that I didn't splurge on a ticket closer to the stage - I won't make that mistake twice if I get the chance to see Twigs again.

The performance at this show was absolutely phenomenal!!! I can’t even put into words how content and in awe with amazement! The setting at Fox in Oakland was PERFECT for this type of stupendous show! As a tribal belly dancer myself, I was so filled with joy witnessing such great collaboration with every performer, musician and artist on that stage! AMAZED!!! So amazed that I’m searching for all of the names of the artists that performed with Balkan during their set. This is a MUST SEE!! In absolute love!!

Once in a lifetime experience. If you get a chance to see this band play, you will see grown men having the times of their lives on stage. They are in complete absolute joy playing the music of their youth. It is awesome to behold and a true musical pleasure to enjoy. This show and the benefit concert they performed last year were the two best shows I’ve ever seen in 35 years of attending live performances. Do yourself a favor and go see them perform.
