House Of Blues Anaheim Readies Grand Opening

House Of Blues had an Anaheim presence for 15 years until the popular chain of nightclubs closed its franchise located at Downtown Disney in May. B.B. King, Black Flag, Ray Charles, Joe Strummer and Blues Traveler were just a few of the acts that graced the stage at the venue known to locals as the “Mouse House.”

You’ll find the new House Of Blues Anaheim at the city’s GardenWalk, an outdoor shopping / recreational area located near Disneyland.  Concert rooms include the club’s 2,200-cap main hall as well as the 400-seat intimate space known as The Parish.  Add in the always popular HOB restaurant and the total complex measures 44,000 square feet of space with four unique entertainment venues under one roof.

The new HOB opens Feb. 2 with the first of two nights featuring headliner Social Distortion,  Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals, Chase Rice, Korn, and Thrice plus Manchester Orchestra are just some of the acts on the club’s first 10 days in biz. The venue will also host House Of Blues Anaheim last gig ever.

“We are excited that we have been asked to open the new House Of Blues Anaheim,” Social Distortion leader Mike Ness said.  “We’ve performed at the House Of Blues across the country many times over, but this is a special honor because it’s Orange County, our living room.  See you all in February.”
