House of Blues San Diego is the Gaslamp Quarter's largest dedicated touring venue, operated by Live Nation. It occupies a full block between 5th and 6th Avenues at 1055 5th Avenue, housing three distinct spaces: a 1,100-capacity Music Hall, the 250-capacity Voodoo Room side stage, and the on-site Salvation Bar / restaurant.
Programming runs the full Live Nation slate — touring rock, indie, hip-hop, electronic, R&B, country, comedy, and tribute acts in the Music Hall; smaller national bookings, local showcases, and curated club nights in the Voodoo Room. Most Music Hall shows are GA standing with VIP loge balcony and table-with-stool seating options. The venue is cashless. Casbah Presents routes a portion of its mid-size indie bookings through here.
Notable for being one of two House of Blues locations in California and SD's most reliable mid-large touring stop in the Gaslamp. The signature folk-art and Southern juke-joint aesthetic carries through both rooms. Recommended for touring shows where you want a real concert hall experience without traveling to North Park or Chula Vista.
