About Ceremony

Welcome to Ceremony, a mid-size live music venue in the heart of Oakland. Located at 1220 Broadway, this two-story space offers a flexible 1,000-person capacity across ground floor standing areas and a mezzanine, enhanced by a state-of-the-art sound system. The venue honors Oakland’s cultural history, from its days as Lux Theater (1948–1978) to its Goodwill era (1988–2019), and now as Ceremony, which opened its doors with grand plans in 2025. Whether you’re here for a grand opening show or an intimate late-night set, Ceremony delivers a dynamic environment for concerts, DJ nights, and special events.
