The next class of rockers for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was announced. This year’s inductees include Kiss, Nirvana, Hall & Oates, Peter Gabriel, Linda Ronstadt and Cat Stevens.
The induction ceremony will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on April 10, and will be open to the public. The event will air as an HBO special in May.
“We know that engaging the fans is a huge opportunity,” Joel Peresman, president/CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation said in a statement. “It gives them a chance to be a part of the ceremony, but it also adds a palpable energy to the event. Once we decided to open the ceremony to the public in New York, that had a huge impact on the decision to have it at Barclays Center.”
All of the inductees will have an exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland.
