BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced a big change for the 2023 induction ceremony by revealing the Nov. 3 event will be streamed live for the first time ever on Disney+.
This is a switch from recent years as the Rock Hall induction ceremony has traditionally been pre-taped before a live audience with the broadcast airing at a later date on HBO.
But that’s not all…
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame also shared some of the performers expected to take the stage at the 2023 induction ceremony, which will be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The list of performers include the following:
Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, Chaka Khan, Willie Nelson, Brandi Carlile, Dave Matthews, Elton John, H.E.R., Chris Stapleton, St. Vincent and New Edition.
