During the 2010s, Grand Illusion was one of the most popular rock clubs on the West Coast. Many famous rock stars had started out here, and occasionally paid the Illusion an homage by appearing under assumed names. The establishment was well known for its three bars and hot dance floor.
Unbeknownst to many people, Johnny Silverhand and Kerry Eurodyne bought the club in 2012 and didn't make it public. At some point later, driven by memories and using their influence, both rockers begun an open mike night on Thursdays which was regularly attended by Universal Records executive Jack Masters, the label under which both rockers recorded. The club also paid the Silver Slashguardian gang to protect the building from any potential trouble.[1]
2020s[]
By 2020, the Grand Illusion's only purpose was the same as always, music. While patrons were encouraged to party, security in this place was very strict. All weapons had to be checked at the entrance, where everyone was scanned. When leaving, all weapons were returned, even if they were illegal. This was done as a way to show trust in order to get cyberpunks to part with their weapons. The ex-Samurai rock stars were aiming towards the dream of a nonviolent future. Around this time, an undercover NCPD agent known as Evie Lark worked as a waitress here while investigating on how to break the control Arasaka had over a local gang.[1]
2070s[]
In the 2070s, Lizzy Wizzy and other artists had performed in the Grand Illusion.[2]
Notes[]
The Grand Illusion is mentioned on a computer at Cynosure Site D in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. The message states an employee bought tickets for a Johnny Silverhand concert for October 9, 2013.
