the Illinois Rock &amp; Roll Museum on Route 66. “With its incredible 
acoustics and intimate 1,550-seat setting, the venue will help us make 
this year’s celebration an unforgettable night of music, memories and 
Illinois pride. The class of 2026 is our most genre-spanning lineup yet,

Joliet has been working since early this year to make September 27th a 
night of big fun. I plan to be there, co-hosting and doing a little

change is if one of the Beatles calls and needs me to be somewhere 
else!”
