PRIMUS – Here Come The Grizz – 12/30
December 30, 2026 8:00 pm
Primus at Fox Theater in Oakland
Primus is coming to the Fox Theater on Wednesday, December 30, with an 8:00 PM start. The show is billed as Here Come The Grizz, which sounds about right for a band that has always lived in its own strange corner of rock.
The Fox is a good room for this one. The old Oakland theater has that big, glowing, almost dreamlike feel, with high ceilings, ornate walls, and a crowd that usually shows up ready to listen. It can feel grand without feeling stiff, which fits Primus pretty well.
Expect the band’s lurching bass lines, sharp guitar parts, odd rhythms, and that sideways sense of humor that has made them a Bay Area staple for decades. Primus fans know the deal. The songs can get weird, heavy, funky, and funny, sometimes all in the same stretch.
If you are staying local between the holidays and New Year’s, this is a solid excuse to get out in downtown Oakland. Grab dinner nearby, head over to Telegraph, and let the Fox do what it does best.
