Weekly NorCal Concert Round-Up: December 12, 2022

Another week brings another influx of great concerts, and we have your guide to some of the most anticipated shows coming through the Bay Area and Northern California (as well as some you may not have heard of that should be on your radar). From X The Band in San Francisco to a special performance by The Smile at Bill Graham Civic and everything in between, we’ve got you covered.

Please Note: All venues and cities have different COVID-19 restrictions, including but not limited to requiring all patrons in attendance to be masked (regardless of vaccination status), proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test, and/or social distancing measures. Please check the website of your local venue to see what each offers so that you can plan and prepare to attend accordingly. If you have not yet been vaccinated and are eligible, we encourage you to head here to find out more. Stay safe, everyone, and have fun.
