The Avalon and Axis became the Lansdowne Street Music Hall but were set to reopen before nightlife impresario Patrick Lyons sold the property to House of Blues parent company Live Nation, according to the Boston Globe.
The 53,000-square-foot building near Fenway Park is expected to host up to 300 shows a year, significantly more than what the former nightclubs provided.
