Along with the announced schedule of live music, drag, comedy, game shows and community events, Another Planet promises "film screenings and more to be announced soon." The Frameline Film Festival is scheduled to run June 17-17 at the Castro."
"The Castro Theatre, which showed film for over a century and was one of the region's last remaining movie palaces, is currently under renovation and remodeling by its new operators Another Planet Entertainment. Controversially, the Bay Area-based live music promotion company replaced the Castro's theater-style raked floor and seating with flat tiers, outfitted with sliding rows, to accommodate a multi-use format."
The Castro Theatre will reopen with a lineup of concerts and events in 2026 featuring artists such as Lucy Dacus, Perfume Genius, Santigold, the Breeders, Father John Misty, and the Format.
