For the second time in 2023, LCD Soundsystem is returning to San Francisco for two shows on New Year’s Eve weekend.
2ManyDJs and Peaches are set to perform as support. Furthermore, the double show wraps up a successful year of touring which included a performance at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. Additionally, there was also a Bay Area residency in August, with four nights at both Oakland’s historic Fox Theatre, and The Warfield in downtown San Francisco. Presented by Another Planet Entertainment, the two shows are set to take place on December 30-31 at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.
LCD Soundsystem’s New Year’s Eve 2023 will be concurrently following their fall-winter 2023 Tri Boro Tour. Set within several venues throughout New York City, it kicked off with four consecutive nights at Brooklyn Steel in Brooklyn, NY in mid-November. Henceforth, another four gigs will take place at Manhattan’s Terminal 5 November 28-December 1, and in Queens at Knockdown Center December 7-10.
In 2022, LCD Soundsystem released their first new song in five years with “new body noise,” written for Noah Baumbach’s feature film White Noise. Twenty-seventeen saw the release of their #1 charting fourth studio album, “AMERICAN DREAM” featuring the Grammy Award winning single, “Tonight.” Moreover, LCD Soundsystem released the new song “Christmas Will Break Your Heart” on December 24, 2015. The band returned to the stage shortly thereafter.
The New Year’s Eve venue is an undoubtedly historic location, built in 1915 as part of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Bill Graham Civic Auditorium derives its name from the late impresario Bill Graham, who began the rock ‘n’ roll movement in San Francisco in the 1960s. Markedly, the midtown building has hosted a multitude of significant cultural events. These include the Democratic National Convention in 1920, and a speech from Martin Luther King Jr. to the NAACP in 1956. The venue also served as the Golden State Warriors’ home court from 1964 to 1966.
LCD Soundsystem emerged from New York City in July 2002 with James Murphy’s first recording as LCD and third release on his DFA label, “Losing My Edge.” Keyboardist/vocalist Nancy Whang and drummer Pat Mahoney were recruited for live shows as the band released singles including “Movement” and “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House,” which would appear on the eponymous 2005 debut LP, “Losing My Edge.” LCD Soundsystem is James Murphy, Pat Mahoney, Nancy Whang, Al Doyle, Tyler Pope, Korey Richey, Nick Millhiser, and Abi Echeverria.
