Moby Is Bringing His Legendary Live Show to CALIFORNIA This November
Moby is set to make a major return to the West Coast this November, announcing two special headline performances in California that will mark his only confirmed North American live appearances. The electronic music pioneer will take over San Francisco and Pasadena just days apart, bringing his celebrated live production and expansive catalog to two iconic venues.
The first stop comes Thursday, November 5, at San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Presented by Goldenvoice and Another Planet Entertainment, the night will feature support from Azzecca and DJ Holographic, creating a lineup that brings together different generations and styles of electronic music under one roof.
Moby’s San Francisco appearance follows a standout 2026, including his acclaimed live-band performance at Coachella, where he played to one of the festival’s most energized crowds, as well as a sold-out European summer run. His return to California arrives at a particularly exciting moment for an artist whose influence has remained deeply woven into electronic music for decades.
Then, on Saturday, November 7, Moby will bring the show to Brookside at The Rose Bowl in Pasadena for an even bigger night. Joining him will be legendary electronic act Underworld, Fcukers, Nia Archives with a DJ set, and DJ Holographic.
Moby has managed to bridge underground dance culture and mainstream success. Born Richard Melville Hall in New York City, he began studying classical music and music theory as a child before finding his place in New York’s punk scene during the 1980s. His breakthrough came with the 1991 single “Go,” launching a career that would eventually see him sell more than 20 million albums worldwide.
His influence extends well beyond his own recordings. Throughout his career, Moby has produced and remixed music for artists spanning genres and generations, including David Bowie, Public Enemy, Ozzy Osbourne, The Beastie Boys, and Daft Punk. Alongside his music career, he has also remained active in supporting nonprofit organizations and various social causes.
Now, more than three decades after his first major release, Moby continues to prove that his music belongs on a massive stage. With immersive production, a career-spanning set, and two carefully curated lineups, his November California dates offer a rare opportunity to experience the full scale of his live show.
Whether you’ve followed Moby since the early days or discovered his catalog more recently, these two performances are set to be more than another night of electronic music. They’re a chance to see one of the genre’s defining artists bring decades of influence, experimentation, and live energy together in two unforgettable California settings.
Moby performs Thursday, November 5 at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco and Saturday, November 7 at Brookside at The Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
Behind these date are Goldenvoice and Another Planet Entertainment, two of the most established names in California’s live music scene. Goldenvoice’s involvement feels especially fitting given the promoter’s long history of bringing major electronic and alternative acts to audiences across the state, from its work with Coachella to its year-round concerts at venues throughout Southern California and the Bay Area. With the company also behind Moby’s Pasadena performance at Brookside at The Rose Bowl, the November shows represent another major addition to Goldenvoice’s long-standing relationship with California’s music community.
