Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Designates the Troubadour as a Landmark Venue; Going Forward, L.A. Will Host Hall’s Induction Ceremony ‘At Least Every Other Year’ (EXCLUSIVE)

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will designate Los Angeles’s Troubadour club a Landmark in music history, recognising the venue’s role in artists’ development and the city’s influence on popular music. The announcement also signals a stronger commitment to Los Angeles: future induction ceremonies will be held there at least every other year.

The dedication is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, ahead of a sold-out Gram Parsons tribute at the Troubadour; Parsons is due to be inducted on Saturday. The week’s events also include a photo exhibition at the Morrison Gallery and a conversation with Joy Division and New Order’s Peter Hook at the Grammy Museum. Los Angeles has hosted five induction ceremonies, three of them since 2020.
