ANAHEIM – The House of Blues announced plans Tuesday to move from its longtime home at Downtown Disney to a larger venue at the nearby Anaheim GardenWalk mall by summer 2016.

The restaurant and concert venue, known for staging chart-topping singers, will move into a space currently occupied by the UltraLuxe Cinemas at the mall, said Jon Mayblum, principal of the Anaheim GardenWalk’s owership group. UltraLuxe Cinemas is scheduled to move out of the mall by the end of this month.

“After 15 years, the number of fans wanting to attend our shows has grown beyond the venue’s capacity, so we’re excited to now move to Anaheim GardenWalk and expand both our show and guest services while maintaining the intimate atmosphere that we’re famous for,” Felix Mussenden, executive vice president for House of Blues Entertainment, said in a statement.

House of Blues will move into most of the 40,000-square-foot space currently occupied by UltraLuxe Cinemas, with plans for a larger concert hall, an open-air patio and bar, a new VIP Foundation Room Club and a small room that will allow for intimate performances and special events, Mussenden said.

Although construction is expected to start within the next few months, city spokeswoman Ruth Ruiz said that the House of Blues has not yet filed an application with Anaheim’s Planning Department.

House of Blues Anaheim has served as an anchor at Downtown Disney since the theme park-adjacent retail complex opened in 2001. The company’s lease for the 23,000-square-foot venue expires in early 2016. Disney spokeswoman Betsy Sanchez said there are no immediate plans for the building.

“We have enjoyed our relationship with House of Blues during their time at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, and wish them the best on their new location,” Sanchez said.
