“For many of us, attending concerts and musical festivals with close friends has led to some of our best summertime memories,” said Stephen K. Judge, President of Cafe Operations at Hard Rock International. “We hope our in-restaurant and virtual Hard Rock Cafe Festival 2020 experiences will help bring a little of this spirit to our guests and social media followers alike, while keeping the tradition of music festivals alive.”
