Rock ‘n’ Roll Returns to Vanderbilt Planetarium
Stunning New Classic, Alternative Shows Premier September 6-7
The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Planetarium will rock again! On Friday and Saturday, September 6 and 7, the Planetarium will premier two new, breathtaking, full-dome, rock music shows – classic and alternative – on the 60-foot dome of the newly renovated and technologically updated William and Mollie Rogers Theater.
David Bush, the Planetarium’s technical and production coordinator, said “The shows have a variety of artists, and each song has an original sequence of mind-blowing visual sequences as well as planetarium special effects.”

Lance Reinheimer, interim executive director of the Vanderbilt Museum, said, “The Planetarium theater is the perfect venue for a full-immersion visual and musical experience that is almost as exciting as being on stage with the actual rock and roll band.”
