ROCK HALL LIVE! POWERED BY PNC RETURNS TO PNC STAGE AT ROCK HALL

Finally, summer is back, and so is live music with Rock Hall Live! Powered by PNC on the PNC Stage at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. After a year of staying home you can enjoy live music, food and drink outdoors for date night, friend’s night out or family fun.

Kicking off July 1, Rock Hall Live! Powered by PNC returns with weekly live music featuring homegrown talent and nationally touring artists, along with new exhibits and programming for museum members and visitors. Highlights of Rock Hall Live! Powered by PNC are listed below with complete details on dates, times and ticketing available at  rockhall.com/events.

“Our summer lineup of live music and programming gives fans and families a chance to experience the power of rock & roll at our remarkable lakefront location. We are grateful to have incredible partners like PNC that help us deliver these experiences,” said Greg Harris, CEO & President, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Rock Hall Live! Powered by PNC is one of several important community engagement and educational initiatives supported by PNC Bank and the PNC Foundation under a multi-year relationship formed in 2018.  

This includes PNC’s continued support of the Rock Hall’s nationally recognized Toddler Rock, which uses music to teach preschool children letter and number recognition, how to read, solve problems and achieve positive interaction with adults and children.

“We value our longstanding alliance with the Rock Hall, including our ongoing support of its life-changing educational and community engagement programs, such as Rock Hall Live! and Rock Hall EDU, that bring people together from across the region and around the world,” said Pat Pastore, PNC regional president of Cleveland. “For more than 20 years, we have seen firsthand how the power of music can inspire and engage visitors, students and communities, all while generating hundreds of millions of dollars in annual economic impact for the region.”
