A 4-Day Fan Event
Indoors
Celebrate RUSH concert weekend with the ultimate 4-day fan event, only at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In partnership with RushCon.
2013 Inductees RUSH are headed to town on their Fifty Something Tour in September. During their time in Cleveland, we are hosting RUSH the Rock Hall Weekend in partnership with RushCon.
RUSH the Rock Hall will feature newly displayed artifacts from the band, performance highlights on the big screen, educational programs, exclusive merch, and more. See below for a full schedule of events, including activities that are free with Museum admission and separate ticketed events with special guests.
Spend a day with us before or after you see the show. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a mile down the road from Rocket Arena.
The best way to attend all four days of “Rush the Rock Hall” is as a Rock Hall Member. Members receive general admission access to the Rock Hall with RSVP and get access to exclusive presales for the special ticketed events that weekend. Members can stop by the Membership Table to receive freebies like Member lanyards, guitar picks, buttons, and more while supplies last.
