OAKLAND, CA — In a re-emergence that might even impress a 17-year cicada, Oakland’s Fox Theater has once again reopened after a 43-year hibernation. The venue underwent repairs and restoration costing $75 million, which brought the 2,800-capacity venue back to its former opulence.
The theater now serves as the flagship live music venue for Bay Area promoter Another Planet Entertainment, which hired Sound On Stage to fly a full L-Acoustics V-DOSC system in the room during April and May. Visiting artists using the rig included Green Day, Franz Ferdinand, B.B. King, Bloc Party, Jeff Beck and Seal and others.
