Boston's House of Blues to open in February!

Great news for music fans...The House of Blues Boston is set to open on February 20th on Lansdowne Street! (They tore down famed nightclubs Axis and Avalon to make way for the new HOB complex.) See below for more details and visit the new website for show dates! Enjoy! Meliss :)

From Boston.com: With excitement building a month ahead of its return to New England, the House of Blues offered details on its opening series of concerts earlier today. Located on Lansdowne Street in the spot formerly occupied by Avalon, Axis, and the Modern, the House of Blues officially opens Feb. 20 with the Gipsy Kings. The latest bookings suggest the venue will continue to target a young concert market with performances by Jesse McCartney (above, Feb. 27), Bloc Party (March 19), and Katy Perry (April 1). The Dropkick Murphys, who had become a staple at Avalon and performed one of the last shows there, will play six consecutive nights (March 12-17).
