OCVIBE Adds 5,000-Seat Concert Hall to Roster of Performance Spaces

OCVIBE, the 100-acre mixed-use development under construction around Honda Center in Anaheim, unveiled the design of a new standalone, 5,000-person-capacity live entertainment venue opening in early 2027. It has been designed by Populous with a flexible layout to host programming ranging from concerts and award shows to sporting competitions and private events.

The concert hall expands OCVIBE’s growing collection of performance spaces, joining Honda Center, currently open while undergoing a $1-billion transformation, and the historic Golden Bear, reopening in 2029, creating what the developers call an ecosystem of venues supporting touring artists at every stage of their growth.

“As new venues and gathering spaces come online, we’re seeing Anaheim step onto a larger stage as a place where world-class events and meaningful guest experiences come together in one connected district,” said Katie Pederson, VP of special events at OCVIBE.

Additional details, including the venue’s official name and programming lineup, will be announced in the coming months.
