VH1 Rock Honors tickets are now available to be bought or sold on Stubhub.com.

For the third year in a row, the VH1 music channel will be hosting a program dedicated to honoring the musical pioneers that shaped the sound of rock ‘n’ roll. This amazing concert typically picks several popular rock bands to honor, then brings aboard a number of modern rock bands to play covers of their hit songs. In the past, honorees have included Queen, Judas Priest, Def Leppard, KISS, ZZ Top, Heart, Genesis and Ozzy Osbourne.

But for their third year, VH1 will be breaking new ground by picking only one band to honor: Legendary mods The Who. The band was influential in shaping the sound of rock ‘n’ roll in the ‘60s, and often were considered rivals of sorts to The Rolling Stones, who were the quintessential rocker band. Though both were different styles of music, there’s no doubt each leaves a long shadow that touches every rock band today, from a small garage outfit to major hit-makers playing out arena-sized venues.

Performances in the past included popular bands that have hits on the radio and greatly respect the honorees. This year, there’s a special treat: Live performances by frontman Pete Townsend and Roger Daltry that will wow every audience member lucky enough to get VH1 Rock Honors tickets before they sell out.

And you can be sure of one thing: Tickets will be scarce come July 12, when the VH1 Rock Honors event commences at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. Fans of all music, including rock, will want to scrounge up tickets long before that date, but fans of The Who should especially take this opportunity to see their legendary idols up on stage.

VH1 has been a leader of the pack as far as presenting entertaining programs on music—and especially on the rock genre—in past years. The bands you grew up listening to and first developed your ear for new music have always been recognized on the channel’s exciting programming, and this is yet another presentation you’re not going to want to miss out on. Get tickets now!
