In 1987, Sherrie Christian (Julianne Hough) arrives in Los Angeles from Oklahoma with dreams of becoming a singer. Meanwhile barback Drew Boley (Diego Boneta) prepares for another night of work at The Bourbon Room. As Sherrie approaches The Bourbon, her suitcase is stolen. Drew tries to catch the robber, but fails. He comforts Sherrie and, upon learning of her situation, gets her a job at the Bourbon Room as a waitress.
The club's owner, Dennis Dupree (Alec Baldwin), and his right-hand man, Lonny Barnett (Russell Brand) , are trying to find a way to pay off a tax debt that threatens the club. In hopes of raising enough money, Dennis and Lonny decide to book Stacee Jaxx, a rock star preparing for his final gig with his band, Arsenal. Upon hearing of Stacee's upcoming concert, Patricia Whitmore (Catherine Zeta-Jones), the religiously conservative wife of the mayor (Bryan Cranston), organizes a protest in front of the Bourbon Room.
Drew and Sherrie's relationship progresses, with Drew admitting he has started writing a song for Sherrie. On the night of Arsenal's final show, Dennis learns that their opening act has cancelled. Sherrie convinces him to use Drew and his band, Wolfgang Von Colt, as the replacement opener. Meanwhile Stacee's manager, Paul Gill (Paul Giamatti), schedules an interview between Stacee and Constance Sack (Malin Akerman), a reporter for Rolling Stone.
During the interview, she mentions the rumors that Stacee is difficult to work with and implies that he was actually kicked out of Arsenal, a charge Stacee denies. After the interview, Constance lashes out at him, claiming that he was once a great musician but now is on the verge of becoming a has-been. Stacee orders everyone out of the dressing room so he can settle things with Constance privately.
While explaining himself to her, he realizes that Constance is actually the only person who has ever truly understood him. Stacee comes close to seducing her when one of his arrogant comments convinces her that sleeping with him would be a mistake. Constance leaves.
Sherrie then enters his dressing room bringing a bottle of Scotch that Stacee requested. Sherrie accidentally drops the bottle on the ground. It smashes to pieces and she apologizes profusely.
While Drew is waiting to go on stage, he sees Sherrie leaving Stacee's dressing room and seeing Stacee's unzipped fly, assumes they had sex. He breaks up with Sherrie after his set and leaves with Gill.
Sherrie quits her job at The Bourbon Room. Drew learns, much to his chagrin, that he must change his rock star image to join a boy band. Justice Charlier (Mary J. Blige), the owner of a local strip club, hires Sherrie as a waitress, later convincing her to become a stripper.
Drew is transformed into a frontman for a boy band. Meanwhile, Dennis and Lonny confess their repressed feelings for each other and fall in love.
Stacee learns that Gill had stolen the proceeds from the show and terminates his contract, citing his friendship with Dennis. Gill then plans another concert at the Bourbon Room to introduce Drew's new band. Knowing that Dennis does not trust him anymore, he lies, saying that Stacee Jaxx will be the one who will be performing. Dennis spreads the news.
A depressed Drew visits the Hollywood sign, where he finds Sherrie. Sherrie tells Drew that she didn't have sex with Stacee and that she is going home. She also admits that she has been working as a stripper. Drew admits his new act is actually a boy band. Sherrie and Drew both lament the situation.
Stacee realizes he has feelings for Constance. Stacee calls the Rolling Stone office in an attempt to find her, but the receptionist tells him that "she is covering Stacee Jaxx’s show at The Bourbon Room" and Stacee, unaware that he was supposed to perform that night, rushes to the venue. Meanwhile, Drew has found all of Sherrie’s stolen records at the Tower Records they first visited together. He buys them back and drops them off for her at the strip club.
Before the Z Guyeezz's first show at the Bourbon, Patricia and her supporters square off against Stacee's enthusiasts, led by Lonny. When Stacee arrives, he greets her as "Patty", seeming to recognize her. Lonny then recognizes her from a photo inside the sleeve of one of Arsenal's old records, and exposes her as a former Arsenal groupie.
Stacee enters the club and finds Constance, and professes his love for her. The two then rush off to the club's bathroom to have sex. He also has his security guards return the stolen money to Dennis.
The Z Guyeezz start the show, but the rocker crowd rejects them, and Drew, spotting Sherrie in the audience, leaves the stage. The two reconcile and Drew also dismisses Gill. Sherrie reunites Wolfgang Von Colt for the opening act, where Drew performs the song he wrote for her. Stacee hears the song and is moved by it.
Eight months later, Stacee, who has rejoined Arsenal, performs the song with Drew and Sherrie, who is now part of Wolfgang Von Colt, in a concert at Dodger Stadium in front of a crowd that includes Dennis, Lonny, Justice, a pregnant Constance, and Patricia, who has returned to her rock 'n' roll persona.
