The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s highly anticipated summer concert series, Rock Hall Live, returns for the summer of 2025 with St. Vincent, The Church, Hot Mulligan, and more! This year, in conjunction with our new featured exhibit “SNL: Ladies & Gentlemen…50 Years of Music”, comedy shows will be added to the summer lineup for the first time. Additionally, the Rock Hall will present a full slate of summer programming, including our Rock the Block Community Days, which are made possible thanks to the generous support and partnership of the John P. Murphy Foundation.  

Concerts will take place on the outdoor PNC Stage on the Union Home Mortgage Plaza from June through September. Head to rockhall.com to see the full lineup of events and purchase your tickets. Summer hours will also return this year for July and August (daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and open until 8 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays), and Rock the Block Community Days take place outdoors on the Union Home Mortgage Plaza and are free to the community.  

“We are thrilled to announce an incredible line-up for our summer concert series,” said President and CEO of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Greg Harris, «From St. Vincent to Hot Mulligan, and points in between, this summer at the Rock Hall will be simply amazing. Like the very best of rock & roll, this summer’s mix of styles and sounds will have something for every music fan. Reserve your tickets now—and take a road trip to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this summer.” 

Enjoy free live music on select nights throughout the summer with Live & Local shows featuring homegrown talent. Each Live & Local show will open with a local comedian, with those appearing to be announced. We are excited to welcome national touring acts in June, July, and August.  

Highlights of Rock Hall Live are listed below. Shows and events will continue to be added throughout the summer. Visit rockhall.com for details. 

Additionally, there will be a variety of other events throughout the season that include our “Artists in Residence” program, presented by the Kulas Foundation, which is now in its sixth year. The Artists in Residence program focuses on up-and-coming musicians from across the Northeast Ohio area and allows them the opportunity to perform regularly on our plaza, spend time writing songs, and develop their musical skills during their time with us. Additionally, the artists meet with industry professionals from around the country to learn about all facets of the music business, including marketing, merchandising, copywriting and publishing, PR, and more. By the end of the program, the Artists in Residence have tangible tools and resources, along with improved skills, that they can take with them to move to the next level of their music careers.
