Fox Theater and Uptown

Before the release of 21st Century Breakdown, Green Day played the full album at four exclusive small shows in the Bay Area, including the Fox Theatre and nearby Uptown nightclub. The Fox Theatre performance on April 14, 2009 was recorded and released on DVD. The theatre also hosted the Dookie celebration and 924 Gilman Street benefit gig, where mayor Libby Schaaf declared February 19 Official Green Day Day in Oakland. The closed Rudy’s Can’t Fail Café was also here, and the Coverups played the theatre in 2026.
