Fans of punk rock, theater, and cult cinema have a unique opportunity this August as Tony Award-winning actor, writer, and director John Cameron Mitchell takes over The Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas for an intimate guided tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Taking place Monday, August 10, 2026, at 2:30 p.m., the exclusive experience allows visitors to explore the world’s most comprehensive punk rock museum alongside Mitchell, who will share personal stories from his own punk rock journey and the creation of one of the most influential cult films of the past quarter-century.
Located at 1422 Western Avenue, The Punk Rock Museum opened in April 2023 and has quickly become one of the city’s must-visit attractions for music lovers. The interactive museum celebrates the history, culture, and rebellious spirit of punk rock through rare memorabilia, immersive exhibits, instruments, handwritten lyrics, stage clothing, and stories from the artists who shaped the genre. Special guided tours hosted by legendary musicians and industry insiders have become one of the museum’s signature experiences.
Mitchell’s appearance coincides with the nationwide 25th anniversary celebration of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Originally premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in 2001, the groundbreaking film won both the Audience Award and Best Director before becoming one of the most beloved cult movie musicals of all time. Its themes of identity, acceptance, love, and self-discovery continue to resonate with audiences around the world.
The celebration begins one day earlier with a special anniversary screening of Hedwig and the Angry Inch at the House of Blues Las Vegas on Sunday, August 9. Mitchell will appear in person for the event, giving fans another chance to celebrate the film’s enduring legacy. Organizers are also offering 20% off remaining tickets for the Las Vegas screening using the promotional code PunkRock26.
For travelers planning a music-themed getaway, combining the anniversary screening with the exclusive museum tour creates a memorable two-day itinerary. Beyond its exhibits, The Punk Rock Museum offers interactive experiences including jam rooms where visitors can play instruments, a tattoo parlor, bar, and rotating exhibits celebrating punk’s lasting influence on music and pop culture.
Whether you’re a lifelong Hedwig fan, a punk rock enthusiast, or simply looking for one of the most unique attractions in Las Vegas, John Cameron Mitchell’s guided tour promises behind-the-scenes stories and firsthand insight that visitors won’t find anywhere else.
Tickets for the August 10 guided tour are available now through The Punk Rock Museum, while seats remain available for the August 9 anniversary screening of Hedwig and the Angry Inch at House of Blues Las Vegas.
