HBO will debut the induction special at 8 p.m. May 5; the Rock Hall will also stream live from the red carpet from 5:30-7:30 the night of the induction ceremony on its official website, Facebook and YouTube pages.
For this year’s gathering, the confirmed presenters and performers are:

- Ann Wilson, presenting for The Moody Blues
- Brandon Flowers of The Killers , presenting for The Cars
