TULSA, Okla. — Cain's Ballroom is celebrating 100 years, and it partnered with the Tulsa Office of Film, Music & Culture (Tulsa FMAC) to kick off the festivities and announce some major headline performers.

The events include a special beer tasting created by Marshall Brewing Company, a limited-edition flavor in honor of the historic location.

Cain's Ballroom announced HANSON, Robert Plant, and Alison Krauss, among others, are scheduled to perform during the centennial year.

“In addition to the shows we’ve already announced for the coming year, we are excited today to announce three special centennial shows,” Chad and Hunter Rodgers, who co-manage the venue they own together with their mother, Alice Rodgers. “On May 5th and 6th, we’ll welcome back Grammy-award-winning singer-songwriter Jason Isbell and his band, the 400 Unit. On June 2nd, Grammy-award winners Robert Plant and Alison Krauss will grace our stage, joined by Tulsa’s own JD McPherson. Finally, this December, hometown heroes and our good friends, HANSON, will perform.”

The historic venue known as the "Home of Bob Willis" opened its doors in 1924 and has been operating ever since. The celebration is big for Tulsa as they are honoring the venues 100 years in the downtown area.

“Consistently ranked among the best venues in the world, Cain’s Ballroom is one of the major catalysts of Tulsa’s global music influence,” said Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum. “Cain’s is a top-tier events facility that continues to empower local musicians day in and day out, standing as a cornerstone of Tulsa’s identity.”
