In 2018, it was reported that more than 12 million visitors, each with their own favorites and memories (and opinions), have visited the iconic I.M. Pei-designed Rock Hall since its opening in 1995. Back then, music fans were left scratching their heads: Why Cleveland? But our city has a checklist of serious rock bona fides: Cleveland DJ Alan Freed is credited with coining the term “rock ‘n’ roll” on his integrated radio show in 1951. Cleveland is credited with holding the country’s first official rock ‘n’ roll concert, a 1952 throwdown that would ultimately be shut down for overcrowding and rioting. Fourteen years later, the same thing would happen at a legendary Beatles show at Cleveland’s famed Public Hall. That’s just how we roll, here. Our legendary radio station WMMS-FM is credited with helping to launch the careers of some of rock’s biggest names, including David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen and Fleetwood Mac.
Directions:Just off of I-90, the Rock Hall is easy to get to no matter the direction you are coming from, with easy access and merging from I-77 or I-71. Public transportation is also readily available for those who like to walk, and those who want to listen to their vinyl from the comforts of their home, there is an ever-expansive online shopping experience at the tips of their fingers.
