Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum

Public Programs

The Rock Hall hosts scores of activities and events each year. From major concert events to lectures and panel discussions, these programs reinforce the Museum’s commitment to the celebration, study and interpretation of rock and roll music and its roots.

Programs highlight not only Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees, but also a broad spectrum of social, cultural, economic and political issues as expressed through popular music from the blues, country and gospel of the early 1900s to the classic rock of the 1960s to the hip-hop and pop sounds of today. Programming is delivered using a variety of formats, including performances, lectures, film screenings and conferences - in venues both on- and offsite to help the Museum reach expanding audiences.
