Bill Graham Civic Auditorium prohibits large bags but doesn't require clear bags — here's what you can actually bring to summer shows.

Heading to Bill Graham Civic Auditorium for SLANDER, Ella Mai, or Yeat this summer? Here's what you need to know about bags before you get to security.

The venue explicitly prohibits "large bags" according to their FAQ, but there's no mandatory clear bag policy like some stadiums. Security staff have discretion to remove items deemed unsafe, regardless of whether they're on the prohibited list.

Small bags typically pass without issues. If you're worried, the venue operates a coat check on the basement level for $3 per item.

Other key rules: No weapons, projectiles, or recording equipment. Factory-sealed water bottles and empty refillable containers are allowed. The venue is cashless — bring cards or use their cash-to-debit exchange service.

Getting there: 99 Grove Street, San Francisco. BART and MUNI both stop within walking distance. Doors typically open an hour before showtime, and the box office opens 30 minutes prior to doors.

Upcoming shows: SLANDER (July 10-11), Ella Mai (July 18), Yeat (August 13), CORTIS (August 15-16).
