Both performances will be broadcast live on NFL Network and ESPN.  

Cleveland local cover group, The Sunrise Jones, will serve as the house band and will provide entertainment between draft selections on Thursday, April 29 and Friday, April 30.

Attending prospects will also walk the NFL Draft Red Carpet on night one, located on the plaza of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and will be televised on NFL Network at 6 p.m. ET.

Headlining acts for Night Two and Three of the NFL Draft Concert Series presented by Bose will be announced in the coming weeks.
