About The Fillmore

Purchase Tickets!

The Fillmore was a dance hall operating under various names and managements - The Get Acquainted Society, Ambassador Dance Hall - through the 1930s, and a roller rink through the 1940s. In 1952, local entrepreneur Charles Sullivan began to book some of the biggest names in black music into The Fillmore. Sullivan booked West Coast tours for performers including James Brown, Bobby "Blue" Bland and Ike & Tina Turner. During the 1950s and 1960s, San Francisco gained a reputation as the preeminent Bohemian community in the United States. This reputation was never more deserved than during the mid-sixties, when the hipster of the Beat movement grew into the hippie of a more mainstream counter-culture. By the 1950s, the literary North Beach scene had given way to the emerging Haight-Ashbury, and radical politics had a niche across the Bay at the University of California at Berkeley. The line between culture and politics is easily blurred by young people in search of adventure.

The band stops at the Fillmore on June 8th. Tracyanne Campbell (vocals/guitar) spoke with SF Station during a phone interview from Scotland before her tour. "

UK Duo Gets it Started
By Matt Crawford (04/10/2009)

" The Ting Tings 2008 trojan-horse debut We Started Nothing, has undeniably started something. The UK duo earned Apple’s approval with a coveted feature spot on a recent iPod commercial, and the band now finds itself looking to upgrade to larger-capacity venues as many of its shows worldwide sell out in advance. The Ting Tings perform at The Fillmore on April 15th before heading south for Coachella. Katie White (vocals/guitar) spoke with SF Station during a phone interview from the road. "

Boyz Gone Crazy -- 7/18 & 7/19 @ The Fillmore
By Adam Pollock (07/06/2006)

" We wouldn’t usually be talking about a one hit wonder duo’s first gig in town but when that duo is terrible twosome Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo Green, aka Gnarls Barkley, it bears mentioning, especially when their two shows at the Fillmore sold out in days. "
