Laurie Anderson live in San Francisco

Experience Laurie Anderson live on September 25th

Laurie Anderson will perform at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco on September 25, 2026. Anderson is a pioneering artist known for her multimedia performances that blend spoken word, electronic music, violin, and visual elements. Her work often explores themes of storytelling, technology, and the human condition, frequently incorporating innovative use of vocal effects and looping techniques. She gained prominence in the 1980s with the song "O Superman," and has since released numerous albums and created large-scale performance pieces, operas, and installations.

The Curran Theatre itself holds a significant place in San Francisco’s cultural history. Originally opened as the Orpheum Theatre in 1922 as part of the Orpheum circuit of vaudeville houses, it was renamed the Curran in 1948 following acquisition by J. Curran & Sons. Throughout its history, it has hosted pre-Broadway tryouts for many notable musicals including *Fiddler on the Roof* and *Hair*. The theatre underwent extensive renovations completed in 2016, restoring many of its original architectural features while updating its technical capabilities. It continues to present a diverse range of theatrical productions, concerts and other live events.
