As announced by HBO, the 2022 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame now has an official date and location.
37th Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony
A few days ago, the official announcement arrived from HBO and Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame’s directors. HBO’s tweet reads:
“Legends come together. Don’t miss the 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, premiering November 19 on @hbomax #RockHall2022”
The 37th annual HBO rock event records from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on November 5. However, the ceremony will air Saturday, November 19 at 8:00pm ET on HBO. HBO Max users will have the chance to stream the ceremony, but a radio simulcast is available as well. SiriusXM’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Radio channel 310 and Volume in the SXM App will also air live.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees were announced in May. For the category of music excellence, Judas Priest, Carly Simon, Lionel Richie, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, Duran Duran, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Eminem, the Eurythmics, and Dolly Parton are the inductees. Eminem, Duran Duran, Parton, Richie, and Simon were on the ballot for the first time. This depends on the fact that 25 years must have passed from the release of the artist’s first record for them to be eligible for the induction.
Also, two more categories are part of the ceremony. For the early influence category, Harry Belafonte and Elizabeth Cotten are the celebrated artists. Moreover, for the Ahmet Ertegun Award, Jimmy Iovine, Allen Grubman and Sylvia Robinson are the inductees.
2022 Cleveland Exhibit
A special exhibit dedicated to this year’s inductees will open at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on November 2. The exhibit will include pieces from this year’s artists collections.
These includes the following:
- Dolly Parton’s Gibson Blueshawk guitar played on Backwoods Barbie tour
- Carly Simon’s handwritten lyric draft for “You’re So Vain”
- Eminem’s outfit worn during Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show
- Elizabeth Cotten’s Acoustic guitar that she began playing in the 1950s, leading to her career as an influential artist of the American folk music revival
