The theater, which opened in 1928 as a movie palace, had been closed for more than 40 years before its revival. With its beautifully restored architecture and state-of-the-art Meyer sound system, the venue has hosted a wide array of talent, including President Barack Obama, Anthony Bourdain, and Oprah Winfrey.

Eric Barleen, vice president of concerts at Another Planet Entertainment, notes the theater’s lasting impact: “It’s been incredible to see the Fox become such a cultural anchor for Oakland and the greater Bay Area.”
