This Saturday, Aug. 6, Tampa International Airport's Hard Rock Cafe will open its doors to the public.

The nearly 5,100-square-foot restaurant will house more that 30 rock and pop artifacts, many documenting the air-faring adventures of traveling rock stars, according to our news partner The Tampa Bay Times who got a sneak peek Friday.

You'll find not only airport photos of acts like the Beatles, Elvis Presley and John Bonham, but airline tickets and boarding passes signed by U2 and Albert King. There's even a suitcase owned by guitar innovator Les Paul. By the entrance, you'll see a light blue suede jacket from Prince's personal wardrobe. In the middle, you'll find elaborate outfits worn by Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus — but also the skimpy black bodysuit Cher wore in her 1989 video to If I Could Turn Back Time.

Tampa International's Hard Rock Cafe is the first among its 160-plus siblings to be housed inside a North American airport and the second in Tampa, a rarity in any city. It's located between gates A and C on the third floor of the main terminal, across from P.F. Chang's.
