S.F.'s Moscone Center books giant act for venue's first-ever concert
The Moscone Center, San Francisco's largest convention and exhibition complex, has booked its first-ever concert.
Home of large events like Salesforce's annual Dreamforce conference, the downtown venue is set to host electronic dance music giant Fisher on Dec. 19. House music DJs Chris Lorenzo and Partiboi69 will join as supporting acts.
The Australian music producer, whose full name is Paul Nicholas Fisher, announced the launch event on Instagram, sharing a carousel of photos and videos teasing the show on Friday, July 25.
One clip shows a cardboard cutout of Fisher behind a turntable at the Moscone Center, zooming out to highlight the vastness of the space. A few slides later, a fan snaps a photo with the cutout, which was placed on the lawn of a San Francisco park as part of a promotional campaign. Another states 'AI doesn't know how to party' above a photo of the DJ's grinning face.
Ticket presales start at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 1, and general on sale begins at 2 p.m. the same day.
Fisher also announced in his recent post that he is giving away 10 tickets to the show. Fans must tag three friends in the comment section to qualify, and winners will be selected next week.
The producer's upcoming Moscone Center performance marks a stark change in programming for the venue, which consists of three main buildings spanning more than 2 million square feet. Fisher's concert is slated for the Moscone South building, which features roughly 260,000 square feet of exhibit space. The buildings are best known for hosting large events such as Salesforce's annual Dreamforce conference and the Game Developers Conference.
Fisher first rose to global fame as part of the DJ duo Cut Snake, and released his first solo single, 'Ya Kidding,' in 2017. The Grammy nominee has since released two EPs and is signed to San Francisco-based electronic music label Dirtybird.
He has performed in the Bay Area on several occasions in recent years, including at San Jose City Hall in March, at last year's Portola Festival and at Outside Lands 2023.
