Music Icons - Day 1

Some guitars were built to be played. A handful were played to change everything. On May 29 and 30, Hard Rock Cafe Times Square will host what may be the most significant gathering of rock and roll artifacts in recent memory with Music Icons 2026, a landmark two-day live auction featuring over 650 lots spanning five decades of rock and roll, heavy metal, punk, blues, and beyond. This year, the collection hits different. From the instrument Johnny Cash carried to his Grand Ole Opry debut to the guitar Kirk Hammett inscribed as "The very first Ouija guitar ? 0001," this collection represents the most significant assembly of music memorabilia to come to market in years. Bid live in New York, online from anywhere in the world, or by phone ? the auction is open to all. "Interest in music memorabilia is reaching unprecedented levels, fueled by collectors who appreciate both the cultural significance of these instruments and the legacy of the artists behind them ? often resulting in record-breaking sales." ? Martin Nolan, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Julien's Auctions Guitars, stage wear, handwritten lyrics, and deeply personal relics from the artists who defined the sound of the last half-century will change hands across those two days. But before the gavels fall, a curated exhibition of highlights is making its final stop on a three-leg worldwide tour from London and Tokyo to Hard Rock Cafe New York, where it opens to the public on May 13. Consider it a museum visit with unusually high stakes.
