Danny Elfman is returning to the Bay Area, and fans are getting two very different versions of the legendary composer and performer.
During an interview with 107.7 The Bone’s Chasta & Huey, Elfman revealed that his October 2 and October 3 shows at San Francisco’s Masonic will be a full-on rock experience—something he hasn’t done since 1995. With drummer Josh Freese and an all-star band behind him, Elfman says the shows will offer the kind of band-to-audience experience he’s missed over the years.
His Aftershock Festival performance, meanwhile, will lean more heavily into his film music.
The conversation also covered everything from Oingo Boingo and Halloween to his iconic Spider-Man scores, catacombs, his new silver grill and the complicated future of AI in music and art.
For Elfman fans, Northern California is about to get a double dose of the dark, weird and wonderful.
