Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Live Induction Ceremony Canceled
Covid19 strikes again.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame live induction ceremony has been officially scrapped. A TV special of the revised induction will happen on HBO, airing November 7. The original ceremony was supposed to happen May 2 with a rescheduled date planned. With Covid cases spiking all over the U.S. again, it was inevitable that this event would be canceled. If you had tickets to the event, you will be issued a refund.
The 2020 inductees are Depeche Mode, The Doobie Brothers, Whitney Houston, Nine Inch Nails, The Notorious B.I.G. and T.Rex.
Due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns, the live 2020 HOF Induction Ceremony concert on 11/7 is cancelled. In place of the live event, we'll broadcast an exclusive special about the #RockHall2020 Inductees on @HBO & HBO Max November 7, 2020 at 8pm.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is back open in Cleveland. The Hall is located in Cuyahoga County, which is currently under a mask mandate because of spiking cases. Ohio has a color-level alert system for the pandemic and Cuyahoga is currently at level 3 (red), which is not good, so consider yourself warned if you want to head out to explore. The Rock Hall is very cool and a must-see venue if you are visiting Ohio.
Those in counties under a Red Alert Level 3 Public Emergency have the risk of very high exposure and spread of #COVID19. You are encouraged to limit activities as much as possible. Masks are required in public beginning tonight at 6 p.m.
