The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation has announced that this year it will replace its annual live Induction Ceremony with an HBO special honoring this year’s Inductees. 

The program will be available on HBO and to stream on HBO Max November 7, 2020 and replaces the live 35th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony that was originally scheduled for May 2.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2020 Inductee Class includes Depeche Mode, The Doobie Brothers, Whitney Houston, Nine Inch Nails, The Notorious B.I.G., T-Rex,

“To protect the health and safety of our Inductees, their families, crews and our attendees, we’ve made the decision that the scheduled live event is not possible,” said John Sykes, chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.  The special will be available exclusively on HBO and to stream on HBO Max on November 7, 2020 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland is now open and debuts its 2020 Inductee exhibit on August 14.

The 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will move to the fall with the 36th Induction Ceremony returning to Cleveland. Ticketmaster purchasers will automatically be issued a refund to their account.
