The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland will open its newest exhibit featurette, “Women In Metal: You Will Know My Name, ” on July 10, spotlighting the women who have shaped heavy metal across decades. The display will feature artifacts tied to Lita Ford, Lzzy Hale (Halestorm), Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy, DragonForce), Taylor Momsen (The Pretty Reckless), Courtney LaPlante (Spiritbox) and many more, curated by Rock Hall assistant curator Haley Cronin.
Cronin noted that women have been pivotal influencers and changemakers in metal since the genre’s inception, and the exhibit is designed to tell the stories of those who have stood courageously at the forefront of innovation. The display spans a wide range of eras, geographies, and sonic identities within the genre.
The opening celebration takes place July 10 at 7:00 p.m. on the Union Home Mortgage Plaza, with Lzzy Hale and Halestorm guitarist Joe Hottinger performing a short acoustic set on the outdoor PNC Stage, followed by metal sets from Storms Within, Maxilla and Reign of Z.
