A New Beginning
February 2009 marked the beginning of a new era for the Fox. After being neglected for forty years, the once glamorous theater made its comeback. Accentuating its revival, the theater’s grand opening night featured a “roaring twenties” theme celebrating the newly renovated theater. Many attended the imminent premiere that celebrated the city’s prized possession. The reopening of the Fox embodied a whole new dimension of the Fox Theater. The newly renovated theater now offered more to the public. From a wide variety of spectacles, the grand opening night attracted a large crowd of intrigued guests. The Oakland Fox Theater now serves as a school, restaurant, and prominent live concert venue. It has hosted many concerts by various recognizable artists such as My Chemical Romance, Beirut, Air, Bob Dylan, Green Day, Wolfmother, Ween, Alice in Chains, Mastodon (band), Kylie Minogue, Animal Collective & The Decemberists since its opening.
