2020 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony rescheduled



The 2020 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony has been rescheduled from spring to fall as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Originally set for May 2 at Cleveland’s Public Auditorium, the event will now take place on Saturday, November 7 and be broadcast live – for the first time – by HBO starting at 8 PM ET.

The 2020 ceremony will see The Doobie Brothers, T. Rex, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, The Notorious B.I.G. and Whitney Houston honored.

“We are very disappointed to announce the postponement of this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony,” Rock and Roll Hall of Fame President Joel Peresman said recently in a statement. “Our first concern is to the health and safety of our attendees and artists and we are complying to the direction of the local and state authorities and common sense.”

To be eligible for entry into the Rock Hall, an individual artist or band must have released its first single or album at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination.
