The sold-out Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, presented by Klipsch Audio, was held on April 7 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The 2017 Ceremony honored this year’s inductees: Joan Baez, ELO, Journey, Nile Rodgers, Pearl Jam, Tupac Shakur, and Yes. The Ceremony will premiere exclusively on HBO April 29th at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
Special guests included:
Dhani Harrison inducting ELO
Pat Monahan inducting Journey
Pharrell Williams inducting Nile Rodgers
Snoop Dogg inducting Tupac Shakur
Neil Young inducting Pearl Jam
Jackson Browne inducting Joan Baez
Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush inducting Yes.
Additional performers included Lenny Kravitz in a very special tribute performance to Prince, Alicia Keys, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Indigo Girls, and others.
Artists are eligible for Rock & Roll HOF inclusion 25 years after the release of their first recording. The Inductees are chosen by an international voting body of more than 800 members, including living inductees (the largest block), historians and members of the music industry, as well as the aggregate results of the Rock Hall’s online fan vote.
Fans can visit a special exhibit dedicated to this year’s inductees at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
