In light of the ever changing COVID-19 situation in the U.S, the postponed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony has been cancelled and replaced with a virtual ceremony. This decision comes almost a month after reopening to the public.

 

 

In partnership with HBO, the 2020 inductees will still be honored on November 7th in a televised special.  Anyone with a ticket to the original show will get a complete refund with this new development.

 

 

The honorees this year are:
