Catch your favorite bands and performers at House of Blues Boston, site of some of the best blues, rock, and soul concerts in Boston. Show
Offering some of the most popular music shows in Boston, House of Blues is also part of the lively nightlife scene around Fenway Park but also maintains a family-friendly venue. Located directly across from Fenway Park, House of Blues seats 2,500 plus another 350 in the private lounge area, making it one of the city's true mid-sized venues. If you like to hear music in spaces more intimate than TD Garden or Gillette Stadium but larger than the many Boston and Cambridge bars, HOB fits the bill perfectly.

Although seating plans can be configured based on the concert, House of Blues Boston is primarily a General Admission - Standing Room Only venue, with reserved seating limited to the upper balcony area on the third level, which also has a Standing Room Only area. In particular, the VIP Balcony Boxes provide excellent sightlines, but you will pay quite a bit more for them. By comparison, the SRO general admission tickets usually go for a lot less. It's worth noting that the mezannine and balcony levels are, in fact, raised areas, not floors. This is part of what makes the views of the stage so good as well as adding to intimacy of this mid-sized concert hall. General Admission "floor" tickets give you access to the ground floor level, which basically functions as a dance floor, and the second level, the "GA Mezzanine," which is also standing room only. The reservations-only third level offers a mix of seating (although not a huge amount) and SRO areas.

Boston Insider Tip: Confused by House of Blues Boston's Location?If you've been in Boston for 20 years or longer, you may remember House of Blues in a different location: Harvard Square. That was the very first HOB site in what is now a nation-wide chain with multiple locations in cities throughout the U.S. Founded by Isaac Tigrett, who was also a founder of the still-popular Hard Rock Cafe, and actor Dan Aykroyd, who co-starred with John Belushi in "The Blues Brothers," House of Blues opened in 1992. Initially, the House of Blues in Cambridge focused on live American, and in particular Southern, blues music. In 2006, concert promoter and ticket seller Live Nation bought the House of Blues organization. Live Nation merged with Ticketmaster in 2010 to become Live Nation Entertainment. In addition to House of Blues Boston, Live Nation has five other Boston venues: Brighton Music Hall, Paradise Rock Club, Orpheum Theatre, Leader Bank Pavilion, and Xfinity Center.
