The induction ceremony was previously moved from May 2nd to November 7th due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but the organizers eventually decided to bring it back in a different form.

John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, said that they decided to avoid scheduling a live ceremony this year in an attempt to protect the health and safety of everyone involved.

“Together with HBO and executive producer Joel Gallen, we will still create an exciting program honoring our 2020 inductees, by telling the stories of their incredible contributions to music and impact on a generation of artists that followed them,” stated Sykes.

The list of this year’s inductees includes Depeche Mode, the Doobie Brothers, Whitney Houston, Nine Inch Nails, T-Rex, and The Notorious B.I.G.

Depeche Mode and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails released official statements saying how excited they are about the induction, while Michael McDonald of The Doobie Brothers took a moment to praise his fellow inductees and incredible work they bring to the table.

“Each of those bands has helped shape the form that rock & roll has taken over the years. That’s what I like to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame do: pick those bands that have sculpted what we see rock & roll as today,” he told Rolling Stone.

The list of artists who were all on the ballot, but didn’t make the cut this year also included Dave Matthews Band, Judas Priest, and Motörhead. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held at Cleveland’s Public Hall on May 2nd, and it will be the first one ever to be broadcasted live on HBO.
