Since its rebranding, many notable acts performed at the venue, including: Guns N' Roses, Tove Lo, The Black Crowes, Oasis, Adele, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Robbie Williams, Alice in Chains, Bob Dylan, Prince & The New Power Generation, Lana Del Rey, Babymetal, and Atlanta's own Mastodon, and Blackberry Smoke.

Along with music concerts, the venue also holds many comedy tours annually including Bob Saget, Lisa Lampanelli, Cheech & Chong and Stephen Lynch.

Within a year he had founded a new Baptist Tabernacle church on the southwest corner of Luckie and Harris streets (now the middle of Centennial Olympic Park).

[6] Seeing the need for further growth, Broughton sought another location closer to the center of town, which led to the current property on Luckie St.

The plans were revealed in November 1907 and depict a church building somewhat larger than what was finally constructed, extending all the way to the corner of Luckie and Spring Street (see photo).

[13] Aside from the temperance movement, Broughton was outspoken on other political issues, and over the coming years he would have guest speakers appear at the Tabernacle toward this end.

Guest religious speakers appeared as well, including Russell Conwell,[4] G. Campbell Morgan[16] Billy Sunday[17] and George Washington Truett.

[19] An attempt by the city government to give the building historic status was resisted in 1989, the members citing a loan plan necessary to ensure the survival of the church.

[20] The congregation's troubles continued after that, leading a later pastor to attempt a fast to encourage donations to save the church.

[22] The building's history as a church ended on Friday, October 14, 1994, when it was sold (along with the offices and the two parking lots) for $2.2 million to a group of investors led by James B. Cumming who intended to redevelop the area in conjunction with the 1996 Summer Olympics.

Then, in April 1996, Isaac Tigrett visited Atlanta with other investors and cut a deal to open a House of Blues in the building in time for the Olympics.

[28] Other well-known performers during the Olympic run included James Brown, Johnny Cash, Al Green and Jerry Lee Lewis.

[29] Lesser-known acts who appeared included Burning Spear, Johnny Clegg and Juluka, Third World, Tito Puente and His Latin Jazz All-Stars, and Celia Cruz.

[31] Civic leaders in Atlanta had high hopes that House of Blues would continue as a permanent downtown attraction, especially when the lease was extended through January 1997.

[32] Efforts were launched to convince Tigrett to continue in Atlanta, but the local investment money he insisted upon ($4 million by some accounts[33]) could not be found.

"[34] On March 11, 1998, Lance Sterling announced that he had entered into a 30-year lease agreement and was investing $2 million of his own money to develop the building.

At the same time as the SFX sale, local music promoters Alex Cooley and Peter Conlon announced that they would move their Cotton Club to the basement of the building (the former Sunday school room) as an additional feature of the venue.

[41] It was the first tornado to hit the downtown area since weather record keeping began in late 1878, or unofficially at any time in the city's history.

[43] The Tabernacle has been named one of the best concert venues in the nation by Rolling Stone,[44] Paste magazine[45] and USA Today.
