If you can’t attend the 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony this month, at least you can watch it on HBO.
As in previous years, the ceremony – which takes place April 14 at Cleveland’s Public Hall – will air a few weeks later on the cable network.
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:
- Mary J. Blige presenting and Andra Day performing, for Nina Simone
- Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes presenting for Sister Rosetta Tharpe
- Ann Wilson, presenting for The Moody Blues
- Brandon Flowers of The Killers , presenting for The Cars
- Howard Stern, presenting for Bon Jovi
- Steven Van Zandt, who will be there in conjunction with a "special guest"
