MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- After breaking ground one year ago, Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach, SC is about to kick open its doors and make history. The world’s first and only rock ‘n’ roll theme park announced today its Grand Opening Extravaganza on June 2, including an exclusive invitation-only two-day celebration featuring concerts and a star-studded celebrity golf tournament hosted by PGA TOUR professional Peter Jacobsen airing on NBC on July 5.

Grand Opening Extravaganza
Hard Rock Park’s Grand Opening Extravaganza festivities will commence on Monday, June 2 with an extraordinary, invitation-only grand opening ceremony at the massive iron gates to the rock ‘n’ roll oasis featuring a concert performance by the Eagles. The following day, the renowned British rock band, The Moody Blues, will commemorate the official opening of the park’s psychedelic, Moody Blues-inspired dark ride, Nights in White Satin - The Trip, followed by an exclusive live performance.

“This celebration will be one for the record books,” said Steven Goodwin, CEO of Hard Rock Park. “Our opening lineup screams that the world’s first rock ‘n’ roll theme park has arrived. Families will be transformed from Regular Joes to Rock Stars, leading others to say ‘they must’ve been to Hard Rock Park.’”
