Hot take
Another Planet Entertainment (APE) has carved out a reputation as the Bay Area’s top independent concert promoter, holding exclusive deals with legendary venues like the Greek Theatre and the Fox Oakland Theatre. Their legacy is rooted in the Bill Graham Presents tradition, prioritizing the local music scene while delivering high-profile events and festivals like Outside Lands and Breakaway. APE is praised for supporting both established and emerging artists, and their independence lets them stay nimble and innovative in an industry dominated by giant corporate promoters. However, with their broad influence in the Bay Area, some critics argue that APE’s exclusive venue contracts may limit opportunities for smaller promoters and could create gatekeeping dynamics. Still, their track record for top-tier live production and community engagement remains unmatched.
