About this venue
Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall is one of Orange County’s most distinctive concert venues, combining contemporary architecture with a setting designed for high-level musical performance. The main auditorium accommodates around 1,700 guests, with additional seating behind the performance platform available for selected configurations. Its exterior is characterized by Portuguese limestone and sweeping glass surfaces, giving the building a refined architectural identity within the Segerstrom Center for the Arts complex.
The interior was created with acoustically demanding performances in mind, ranging from symphonic and choral concerts to appearances by internationally known soloists and ensembles. Adjustable acoustic elements, suspended canopies above the stage and extensive wood finishes help shape the sound for different types of performances, while red velvet seating, multiple auditorium levels and an elegant lobby provide a comfortable and visually impressive setting. Food, beverage and other visitor amenities are also available within the surrounding complex.
The concert hall is located next to the area of 600 Anton Blvd, Costa Mesa, United States, within the cultural district surrounding Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Drivers will generally find the Plaza Tower Parking Structure at Anton Boulevard and Park Center Drive the most convenient option, as it is positioned directly behind the concert hall and provides a short walking route to the entrance. Nearby passenger drop-off points and bus stops along Anton Boulevard offer alternatives for arrival, while the section below provides a broader overview of transportation around Costa Mesa and the surrounding area.
About the city
Costa Mesa, one of Southern California’s most appealing addresses for entertainment and events, is not only a city known for its sophisticated cultural and lifestyle scene, but also a destination that offers concertgoers, theatre audiences, and visitors to major gatherings a complete experience. The city stands out for its diverse event offering, elegant urban rhythm, and atmosphere that suits both visitors arriving for a night out and those looking to combine an event with a short city break. It is precisely this combination that makes Costa Mesa a very attractive choice for anyone seeking more than just a ticket.
A major advantage of the city is its excellent transport connectivity, which makes reaching the main halls and event spaces straightforward for both local visitors and guests from other parts of the region. John Wayne Airport (SNA) is located very close to the city, while the OC Bus network makes it easier to move around the wider Orange County area. For those arriving by train, the most practical connections are provided by Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) and Irvine Station, served by Metrolink and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner, making the onward journey toward arenas and stadiums quick and easy to follow. Thanks to well-organised road routes and regional links, Costa Mesa leaves the impression of a city where logistics never diminish the enjoyment of the event.
Beyond the event itself, Costa Mesa also offers a very pleasant tourism bonus. Before or after a concert, it is worth taking a walk around Segerstrom Center for the Arts and the surrounding South Coast Metro district, exploring South Coast Plaza for its restaurants, shops, and urban energy, or stopping by California Scenario, also known as Noguchi Garden, which adds an extra artistic dimension to the city. If you want to round out your stay with a more relaxed atmosphere, Orange County’s coastal areas are also nearby, so an event evening can easily turn into a complete Southern California experience. That is why Costa Mesa leaves the impression of a city people do not visit only for the programme, but for the overall experience of staying there as well.
