The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame will be highlighting women in the hard rock and metal scene with a new exhibit featurette called “Women In Metal: You Will Know My Name.” The display will open on July 10 and it will feature artifacts from Lita Ford, Lzzy Hale (Halestorm), Alissa White-Gluz (DragonForce, ex-Arch Enemy),Taylor Momsen (The Pretty Reckless), Courtney LaPlante (Spiritbox), and more.
Curator Haley Cronin commented:
“Women have been pivotal influencers and changemakers in the metal genre since its inception. We are excited to tell the stories of those women who stand firmly and courageously at the forefront of innovation and acceptance, and through their raw power pave the way for all girls who just want to rock.”
Hale added:
“I’m so proud to be a part of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame’s ‘Women In Metal’ exhibit. I’m honored to stand next to my sisters of scream. These women have set me on fire and helped shape this genre. Together, we are creating a space to shine, be loud, and carve a path for the next generation to follow, like our foremothers inspired us. Raise your horns and come celebrate with me on July 10th!”
The opening ceremony on July 10 will feature an acoustic set from Hale and her Halestorm bandmate Joe Hottinger. Storms Within, MAXILLA, and Reign Of Z will perform as well. Tickets can be found HERE.
