Cannons sold out show at August Hall exceeds all our expectations

May 28, 2024

  Cannons have been selling out shows left and right. They have continued to be one of the hottest shows around. We caught them last year at the Fox Theater in Oakland and it was a magical night. We were able to catch them perform at BottleRock Napa this past weekend and they dominated the Verizon Stage. We didn’t think they could top that performance and yet they did. Last night they played at the August Hall in San Francisco to a packed venue. The show sold out almost immediately after it went on sale. The night kicked off with a spectacular set from Jane Leo. The crowd was well warmed up and then continued to erupt in cheers and went wild when they hit the stage. From that moment on, Cannons held the audience captive with their mesmerizing set. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: We hope you get a chance to catch them out on tour. Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date [Read More]

June 24, 2023

    It was the last night of the US dates for  Loveless World Tour and it ended in San Francisco at the August Hall. It featured openers Honey Revenge and you can check out their photos here. The crowd were ready and amped up for the show as Loveless took the stage to eruptions of cheer and screams and they kicked it off with Haunting Me. The party started and didn’t stop until the band left the stage.  Being the last night of tour, the crew had some fun with the band as they had given playful and different set lists to each member. I tell you, I would have loved to see them play Bodies by Drowning Pool. They would have killed it. The crowd went wild when they played their 2020 debut single Better.  It was non-stop fun  and a spirited set that intensified the adrenaline with each song with a minor break during Killing Time. The band had to stop the song due to a fight in the crowd. We actually [Read More]
