The Illinois Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is the hall of fame of the Illinois Rock & Roll Museum on Route 66, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit at 9 W. Cass St., Joliet (stored Joliet note stands), founded by Ron Romero (idea 2013; nonprofit by 2017; building bought 2019). Inductees must have 20+ years in the business and a significant Illinois tie; despite the name it also honours blues, jazz, gospel and country artists; annual induction gala at Joliet's Rialto Square Theatre (2024 and 2025 classes enshrined together on 14 Sept 2025) — per Chronicle Media's report (tier-3 local journalism, fetched in full) quoting founder Romero.
