Stage

It's about the experience! This venue is good for a non-mainstream concert show. Many comedy shows come thru here and do well. Rock and country concerts are another matter entirely. Although security is present they do not enforce seating at all. You may pay for a premium seat but folks are allowed to bounce to the front and down the aisles near the stage and block your view. There is seating only in the orchestra area no pit so essentially folks are on top of you or stealing your purchased premium seat to be near the stage. Quite annoying! Folks are also over served alcohol which makes for an even less pleasant experience when you're getting spilled drinks on you and hit in the head because a drunk girl can't control her swaying hands. I witnessed this and no action by security standing nearby. It's sponsored by Budweiser so expect Bud products. No food only overpriced popcorn to go with the over priced beer, cocktails and wine. One regular sized can of beer is $12. Sometimes it's not about the money you make it's about the customer experience! The Fox theatre in Bakersfield is well managed and a completely more pleasant experience as a concert venue. If you're looking to have a positive time out making great memories then select the Bakersfield Fox theatre over the one in Visalia.

I took my mother to Visalia Fox Theatre to see The Beach Boys. We arrived 30 minutes before the show started. We were checked by security, our tickets were scanned, and we were in! The staff we met were helpful and courteous. The lobby was a tight squeeze with people waiting in the concessions line (alcohol was sold outside), browsing the merchandise table, or just chatting it up. Our seats were definitely a snug fit with minimal leg room- thank goodness for intermission. Being such a small theatre most seats come with a good view of the stage. Our seats were under the control booth and the stage light shone right over the tops our heads making it a bit difficult to focus. There was an abundant amount of security which made me feel safe. Not sure how rowdy Beach Boy fans can get, but you never know. I'm glad my hometown has a historic place where young and old can come together to enjoy in the arts, music, and other forms of entertainment.

The Fox Theatre has to be considered Visalia's most prized cultural landmark. It is the best place in town to take a date if you want a dash of culture. I have been there to see the Tulare County Symphony several times and have not been disappointed.

Does this theater have a balcony?

Damn, I gotta say for me, 2025 was a great year for concerts…read more Twenty shows all told, at venues ranging geographically over six thousand miles from Southern and Northern California, to Las Vegas, to Tulsa, Oklahoma and Munich, Germany. It truly was a great year. If you would've asked me on June 1 what was my favorite of the 2025 shows I'd seen I would have said the two Dead & Company concerts I saw at the Las Vegas Sphere. Absolutely incredible shows. But then in October I travelled to Tulsa to see some shows at Cain's Ballroom. I visit Oklahoma every year and I always make it a point to see a show or two at Cain's. This year at Cain's I saw two artists I had never heard of before. The headliner for the two shows I saw was Josh Meloy. He was good, and had a fantastic band behind him. But it was the band opening the show for Josh on the first night that blew me away: Kenny Feidler and the Cowboy Killers. I don't remember the last time I saw a band that I immediately fell in love with so completely. I walked out of that show a changed person. Kenny is a prolific songwriter. He's a former rodeo star and many of his songs reflect that experience. Most commonly Kenny's music is classified as Alt-Country, but I don't actually know what that means. What I do know, though, is rock and roll. And Kenny's band, The Cowboy Killers are a kick ass rock and roll band. First thing I did after seeing him at Cain's was go online to check out Kenny's tour schedule. I was so happy to discover he would be playing some shows in California in December. I had to choose between Costa Mesa and Fresno. Costa Mesa would've been closer but after I checked out the Yelp page for Fulton 55, I instantly knew this would be the place to see a show. And I was right. The venue is a great place to see live music. Security at the door was cool. Inside, the sound was clear and loud, the crowd was chill, and it didn't take forever to get a drink at the bar. Brady Stovall opened the show and I enjoyed his set. I liked how his drummer just used the Cowboy Killer's drummer's kit, so it didn't take long between bands. Kenny Feidler and the boys played a 17 song, 90 minute set that included a blistering, nearly six minute version, of the song Cowboy Killers. Happily, a lot of the songs performed were from Kenny's most recent (2025) release, The Western Tragedy, including Idaho Hippies and The Bronc Fighter. After the show I got the chance to meet Kenny and get a photo. What a great guy! This wasn't the first time Kenny has played a show at 55 Fulton, and inshallah it won't be the last. Whenever that next show happens, for sure I'm gonna be there. Mikey C says: damn right!

Always a good time here. A great place to see one of your favorite bands play. Two full bars…read moredownstairs and downstairs as well as big bathrooms on both floors, one labeled Females, one labeled Males. Lots of seating with tables both upstairs & downstairs and a great view of the stage where ever you are.

I've been coming out to Frank's Place for years. I didn't know if they'd make it through the…read morepandemic since their events were hit and miss for about a year before. "Back in the day," I've come to see a huge variety of shows. I hope they get to that point again with good attendance since this space is pretty large and open. This is a pretty old building pretty much next door to Warnors Theater. It's showing some wear, I felt bad for the old bar top that is really scraped and scuffed (and sticky). but this is still a decent place for shows or to rent for events. It can feel empty if there aren't a lot of people. Our last two visits were to hear music, both times really good - DJ Mr Leonard about a month ago and then The Box playing live with local artists Hope Garcia and Ben Napoles. Both times music was great and I had so much fun dancing .... But there was hardly anyone in attendance! Just crazy. My biggest complaint is that they rarely have any good beers. And the draft beer tastes ... off. The other thing is the drinks are inconsistent. So I stick to simple here; jack and coke, etc. and that's kind of a bummer. *however,* I can get a simple (and large) drink of say, Tanqueray or Courvesior with soda for just $8. I'll take it! Last night they were serving tacos for cheap, which was nice - we bought another round with them so also smart lol. And bartenders have always been friendly, no assholes. Also important, bathrooms have always been clean. Live long and prosper, Frank's Place

I think it could set up differently, too much wasted space.. drinks were nice & cold.. I've seen Rick before & the sound was not dialed in like it should be..maybe I'll try another event..

World Records is not just a record store, it is also one of the best music venues in town, if not…read morethe best since The Crystal Palace folded. For the size of the place to the down right decent ticket prices, Pat and his crew do a bang up job time and time again. I've seen a lot of music in my life, and some of the best shows have been at World Records, I'm talking artists like Mindi Abair, Sugaray Rayford, Ana Popovich, and Selwyn Birchwood, just to name a few. This is top notch talent all the way! Great acoustics, small and comfy, it's just an excellent place to see music. The fact that the artists come out and sign autographs etc. at the end of the show is the kind of experience you can rarely find any more or any place else. Kudos to Pat for all the hard work and effort he has put into this place. No matter who is playing, it's really hard to not have a good time in such a great place! Thanks!!

Another knock out concert held at World Records. The incomparable Walter Trout was in the house!…read more The lovely local Glenda Robles and Hot Taco opened the show. They have so much talent it's a pleasure that they are a Bakersfield band. Accompanying Walter this evening was Teddy Zig Zag on keyboards, John Avila on base, Michael Leisure on drums and John Trout, Walter's Son, vocals & guitar. What an all star band each member having a storied history of their own. On concert nights you can call ahead to order one of Jimmy's famous wood fired pizzas for a little nosh preconcert. Check out World Records website for upcoming shows and events. It's a great venue if you are looking to host an event. And as always music for sale.
