TONIGHT on HBO: 2020 ROCK N' ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTION CEREMONY...8 PM EST
The
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is typically a big live event that happens every spring, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, those
plans were postponed. In July, the Rock Hall decided to
make it a virtual event and announced that it would restructure its schedule going forward and start hosting the Induction Ceremony in the fall starting next year (with a return to Cleveland and, hopefully, a live audience).
But the show will continue virtually, with the 2020 edition set to debut this Saturday, November 7th at 8 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and be available to stream on HBO Max simultaneously. Get a
