Nashville's Ryman Auditorium will host the second annual Rock the Ryman concert on 1 September, a joint event with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame celebrating the connection between rock and roll and country music. The show will be hosted by 2014 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee John Oates, and will honour the legacy of inductees who have performed at the venue, exploring how country has influenced rock and roll and how the genre now intersects with Americana and contemporary country.

Confirmed performers include Devon Allman, ROME, Sam Bush, Spencer Sutherland, Wynonna and YOLA, with more names to be announced; each act will perform songs by Hall of Fame inductees who influenced them. The event, sponsored by Gibson and Gibson Gives, raises funds for rock and roll preservation and education initiatives, and follows the inaugural 2023 concert hosted by Charlie Worsham. It builds on the Ryman's status as a designated Rock & Roll Hall of Fame landmark since 2022, alongside a permanent exhibit of memorabilia at the venue. Tickets go on sale Friday, 31 July at 10am CT.
