2021 Inductees Exhibit to open at Rock Hall on October 24

The 2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is fast approaching. October 30 will be here before we know it! It’s an exciting time for Cleveland to host such a monumental event.

Although the ceremony itself is the climax of induction week, many awesome things have been planned leading up to the event.

‘Celebration Day’ is scheduled for Sunday, October 24! It’s going to be great!

The event will feature a plethora of outdoor activities including live music, a pop-up market, and will be capped with a firework display at 8:30 PM. Everything outdoors is free and open to everyone.

Inside the museum, it’s time for the premier of the exhibit honoring the 2021 inductees exhibit. Do you live in Ohio? Admission is FREE to tour the museum, including the new exhibit! (Standard pricing applies to out of state guests.)

According to a recent press release from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, highlights from the 2021 Inductee exhibit include:

• Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters’ Dan Armstrong Ampeg guitar, which was used as his main guitar during the One By One era and “Wasting Light” tour. Calling it one of his favorite guitars, Grohl owns four Ampegs that are all tuned differently for various Foo Fighters songs and are featured in three of the band’s most popular videos: “All My Life,” “The One” and “Times Like These.”
• Tina Turner’s red lace dress worn in the music video for “Private Dancer,” the title track from her best-selling album, a culturally significant work of art by one of the most iconic voices of the late 20^th century music, and reasserted and redefined the queen of rock & roll’s career.
• Carole King’s Acrosonic piano with bench, which she used to belt out hits for consecutive years as one of America’s most prolific musicians, loved for songs such as“(You Make Me Feel) Like a Natural Woman” and “You’ve Got a Friend.” 
• Randy Rhoads’ personally designed white asymmetrically V-shaped Jackson Concorde guitar, one of the most iconic guitars ever made by one of the most influential rock guitar players in history.
• Todd Rundgren’s embroidered purple suit worn during 1978 shows and while recording his live album Back to the Bars, which included a weeklong stint in Cleveland at The Agora.
• Billy Preston’s Casio Voice Arranger VA-10 keyboard. A keyboard prodigy who played with Mahalia Jackson and Andrae Crouch at ten years old, nobody could rock licks better than Preston, who achieved worldwide acclaim playing with the Beatles, and with his own solo records.
• The Go-Go’s are remarkable for being the most successful all-female band to play their own instruments and write their own songs. Costumes and/or instruments on display from each band member show their bold style was as fun as their music, from feminine to New Wave edgy.
• Gil Scott-Heron’s signature brown hat, a statement piece for the revolutionary poet and musician, best known for his 1970 work “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.”

Don’t forget, as of the time of this writing, tickets are STILL AVAILABLE for the ceremony at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on October 30. Check out event details on our events calendar: RIGHT HERE!
