The Aztec Theatre will have House of Blues booking its shows from now on, according to venue public relations director Cliff Puchalski.

The 1,500-capacity theatre at 104 N. St. Mary’s St. now has the weight of HoB behind its booking, as HoB owns venues in Houston and Dallas. With the Tobin Center opening in fall, it appears the Aztec will stay out of the way of the Tobin and Majestic and carve its own niche with HoB.

Since reopening in February, the Aztec has brought in a wide range of rock acts from the Drive-By Truckers to Los Lobos and Queensryche. Upcoming shows include the Yardbirds on June 26 and Kansas on July 5.

The HoB venues in Houston and Dallas serve as an indicator for what the Aztec might bring in with the new partnership. Upcoming acts in those venues include Black Flag, Ted Nugent and Lily Allen.

The venue first opened in 1926 and operated as a movie house until it closed in the late ’80s. It’s undergone a few changes since, including the latest opening under PHH Entertainment Ventures LLC, which also owns Sam’s Burger Joint. The new owners invested about $2 million into renovations to turn it into a concert venue.
