Great news for the struggling Spring Garden corridor and the former Spaghetti Warehouse. If all goes as planned, the warehouse at 10th and Spring Garden will be reopened as a The Bowery Presents....
The Spring Garden corridor is no stranger to concert venues, although perhaps not as recognizable as The Bowery Presents....
Additionally, a House of Blues is slated for the waterfront.
Prediction: Hipsters will criticize the corporate presence, Fishtown will complain about the quality of life in a neighborhood that is arguable theirs, Callowhill will complain about traffic, and a number of Negadelphians will say, "we don't need another concert venue".

Well, then don't go.
A successful venue this far west on Spring Garden will inspire local businesses to follow suit, perhaps including a potential solution for the dilapidated - now saved - Church of the Assumption. And Sugarhouse needs something to make it more than an overstuffed slots barn.
I think the article itself wasn't super clear about this, but it's talking about two separate venues -- one's a House of Blues they're hoping to open by the river in Fishtown, the other is a Bowery Presents.. venue at the old Spaghetti Warehouse. Still corporate, but a different corporation.
