The 31st Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony has lined up The Black Keys, Rob Thomas and Lars Ulrich as "special guests" – meaning they'll likely be inducting one of the acts in the 2016 class.

Cheap Trick, Chicago, Deep Purple, N.W.A. and Steve Miller are the members of that class who will be enshrined at the April 8 ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

As has been the policy for the last several years, fans can purchase tickets to the event. Prices range from $55.50-$505.50.

Citi cardmembers will have early access when tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Feb. 1 through www.citiprivatepass.com. Tickets for the general public will go on sale at 9 a.m. Feb. 5 via www.ticketmaster.com.

Details about other performers and presenters will be announced soon.

The ceremony will air on HBO in April.
