Another Planet Entertainment is celebrating a decade of fantastic events hosted at San Francisco’s iconic venue, Bill Graham Civic Auditorium!


Over the years, the Bay Area has become renowned for hosting some of the most sensational live events and festivals featuring top artists in the scene. One of the biggest draws for locals and those traveling to San Francisco alike has been Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Operated by Another Planet Entertainment (APE) for the past decade, it quickly ascended to even higher reaches within the dance music scene with performances from major artists like Zedd, Kaskade, and Above & Beyond while also hosting shows like Dreamstate SF and countless others.

Bill Graham Civic is one of, if not my favorite venue in the world. Everything from its layout, the capacity, the easy load-ins, and load-outs, to the unbelievable crowd energy in that room is perfect. I have been incredibly privileged to have performed at BGCA six times and I hope to continue performing in that room for many more years to come.

ZEDD

Nestled in the heart of San Francisco, the venue has become a positive place for the city as a whole with the Civic Center neighborhood and a boost to the local economy. Aside from music-driven shows its played host to a number of charitable events to help great causes ranging from North Bay fire relief to Project Homeless Connect, as well as gaming events and product launches for the world’s largest companies like Twitter, Apple, and Google.

After millions of dollars in improvements including acoustics, cosmetic updates to the ceiling, dressing rooms and more, APE has turned the venue into a jewel of the city. When the venue was reborn 10 years ago, the neighborhood was in an extremely bad state. Now, with companies like Twitter, Dolby, the city’s Department of the Environment and many condominium and apartment projects, the BGCA has become the anchor tenant of the neighborhood. We are so proud to be the steward of this building, which has now developed a long history of both musical excellence and community involvement. Here’s to another 10 years.”

Gregg PerlofF, CEO and Founder of Another Planet Entertainment

More than three million attendees have through their doors since they revitalized the venue a decade ago. While the venue may be closed for the foreseeable future due to the ongoing pandemic, once shows can return safely there’s no doubt that Bill Graham Civic Auditorium will reign supreme once again and celebrate the past ten years in style. Stay tuned to their social media channels for the latest updates and information!

  • SHOW REVIEW:⁠
Millions of people across the globe recently ushered in a fresh Lunar New Year. For those that celebrate, 2023 is the year of the rabbit, which represents peace, self-reflection, and prosperity. And in honor of this celebration, Pulse Events produced two eventful nights at @avantgardnerbk, featuring a roster of Asian artists and two dance music titans – @Gryffin and @KSHMR. 🪅🎶⁠
⁠
The renowned venue displayed a 360 photo booth with a Lunar New Year backdrop for attendees, and a constellation of red lanterns suspended throughout the space with a huge chandelier right in the center of the Great Hall – and our team was there to witness the Lunar New Year magic. 💫⁠

  • ALBUM REVIEW: 💿️⁠
There are few artists in the melodic house and techno realm more in demand than @marshmusician at the moment. His latest LP to land on @Anjunadeep, Endless, is a glimpse of what the last few years of staying busy have meant to the producer, yet also act as a snapshot of his past as he takes his deepest influences and brings them into the present. This album is the culmination of both the artistry that’s made him a staple of the Anjuna roster over the past few years and the philosophical questions that arise from long journeys. 🛣️🎶⁠
⁠
"I’ve written this entire album on the move, writing from so many different homes. On a deeper, more spiritual level, this has led me to question, what is truly home, and will we experience home after this life?" -Marsh⁠
