Know Before You Go
Attendees should arrive early to allow time for security clearance, as venues typically experience congestion during peak arrival times. The Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts is located in Oakland and welcomes adult audiences; specific age restrictions should be verified directly with the venue. Guests are advised to check the venue's official bag policy and parking information before arriving. All standard venue rules apply, including no outside recording equipment, and attendees must comply with all security protocols for entry.
Hot Tip
Arrive at least 45 minutes early to clear security and find your seat, as the main entrance often backs up right before showtime. This gives you time to soak in the pre-show atmosphere and settle in before the legendary duo takes the stage.
