Another Planet Entertainment is an independent concert production and artist management company based in Berkeley, California. Founded in 2003 by former Bill Graham Presents executives Greg Perloff, Sherry Wasserman, and Steve Welkom,[1] the company is noted for "changing the landscape of live music in San Francisco and its neighboring hubs, while staying faithful to the area’s musical roots and following in the footsteps of industry icon Bill Graham."[2]

In addition to promoting and producing concerts and events at historically significant Bay Area venues such as the Greek Theater, the Fox Oakland Theatre and The Castro Theater, Another Planet Entertainment co-founded and co-produces the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival. The company also produces San Francisco's Breakaway Festival and co-produces the Life is Beautiful Festival. [3][4] In August 2024 Another Planet produced the first stand-alone after dark concert in Golden Gate Park.[5]
