SAN FRANCISCO – The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium was sold out twice this week for French DJ duo, Justice, who are currently on the North American leg of their 2025 tour. Their last Bay Area appearance was headlining the Portola Festival last year, and this time, they returned with a stunning show performing hits from their latest Grammy-winning album, Neverender.

The night kicked off with an hour-long DJ set by The Dare, decked out in his signature black and white tuxedo. He brought the energy early, mixing hyperpop and techno into a set that got the crowd moving. The night before, he surprised fans by dropping his remix of “Mannequin Love”.

Suddenly, the lights shut dark black and lights sparkled from above. The epic horns of Genesis erupted shadowing the signature Justice cross with the duo standing right in front. A set of lights then flashed upward from the stage, creating a cinematic, almost 3D effect. The fainted singing in the intro of “Mannequin Love” brought an even crazier light show. Blocks of flashing white lights rose from the floor covering the entire stage. As they transitioned into “Neverender,” the venue transformed into a rainbow-colored disco ball.

One of the night’s standout moments came during “Stress.” This high BPM track is accompanied by an all red screen paired with an intense beat drop that sent the crowd jumping. After a series of tracks, the main set closed with “Audio, Video, Disco.” The audience, still hyped, cheered for more.

Justice then returned for an encore, opening with an insane rendition of “We Are Your Friends.” The synths in each mashup were played like a shredding guitar solo. They later closed the night with a mashup of “D.A.N.C.E.,” “Safe and Sound,” and “Neverender,” sending the crowd into one final dance party.

As the lights slowly came back up, “The End” (featuring Thundercat) played over the speakers—a fitting send-off. The duo made their way down to the crowd, greeting fans and signing autographs.
