Duran Duran at the Honda Center, Anaheim, CA

Venue Overview

Located at 2695 East Katella Avenue, Anaheim, California 92806, the Honda Center opened in 1993 and has since become a premier destination for major concerts and sporting events in Southern California.
With a concert capacity typically ranging up to around 18,000 seats (depending on staging configuration) it delivers big-show energy without losing the feeling of proximity.

Why It Works for Duran Duran

For fans of Duran Duran, the Honda Center hits the sweet spot: large enough to host high-production visuals and sound, yet intimate enough that you don’t feel miles away from the stage. Expect strong acoustics, modern amenities, and a layout that works whether you’re floor-standing or in the bowl.

Smart Fan Tips & Things to Know

Here’s what to keep in mind for your night at the show:

🕒 Arrive Early
Venue recommendations suggest arriving at least 60 minutes before doors open to account for parking, traffic, and entry screening.

🚗 Parking & Transport

• On-site parking is available, but lots fill up quickly—pre-book where possible.

• The surrounding area (OC Vibe/Platinum Triangle) is undergoing development, so build in extra time for traffic and changes.

• Consider rideshare or public transit as alternatives to avoid parking stress.

🎒 Bag & Entry Policy

• For concerts: bags must generally be no larger than 5 in × 9 in × 2 in, and backpacks are typically not permitted.

• The venue is cashless—card or mobile payment only for concessions and parking.

📍 Seating & Sightlines

• Floor tickets: Great for getting close to the action, but prepare for standing and potentially tight crowding.

• Bowl seats: Offer a more relaxed vantage point and still very good sound and view.

• If you prefer some breathing room, aim for lower to mid-terrace levels (200/300 sections).

📱 Tech & Comfort

• Bring a portable charger: Your phone will likely be used for photos, maps, rideshare apps, etc.

• Ear protection (earplugs) can help—near the stage the levels can get intense.

• Dress in layers: Even though it’s Anaheim, indoor arenas often run cooler, and you’ll warm up during the show anyway.

🍔 Food & Beverage

• The Honda Center features multiple concession stands and restaurants (including an indoor-outdoor space called Brewery X Biergarten) for pre-show meals and drinks.

• Prices tend to be higher than normal, so budgeting ahead is smart.

🚪 Exiting & Post-Show

• The area around the venue can get congested after a show. If you drove, be patient with post-event traffic.

• If you used rideshare, be sure to locate your designated pickup spot ahead of time.

Seeing Duran Duran at the Honda Center promises a night where production, performance, and fan energy all align. With a mix of hit-heavy setlists and deep cuts, paired with a venue built to deliver big moments, you’re in for something special. Pack smart, arrive early, and get ready to feel the reflex — it’s going to be a show worth remembering.
