Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame To Livestream 2023 Induction Ceremony

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's 2023 induction ceremony will be streamed live for the first time, as Disney+ has picked up rights for the live broadcast.

Disney+ will livestream the event from Brooklyn's Barclays Center on November 3 at 8 p.m. ET/5 PT and be available for streaming on-demand following the ceremony.

Last year, an edited version of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony aired on HBO several weeks following the event.

"This historic live stream on Disney+ and special on ABC is a testament to the diverse sounds and enduring power of rock and roll," said John Sykes, chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. "Over the last three decades, the annual live Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction has become music's highest honor, celebrating the artists who've defined generations and changed music forever."

This year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees include Kate Bush, Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, George Michael, Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine and The Spinners, along with DJ Kool Herc and Link Wray for musical influence, and Chaka Khan, Al Kooper, Bernie Taupin for musical excellence. Don Cornelius will also be honored with the Ahmet Ertegn Award.

Brandi Carlile, Dave Matthews, H.E.R., Chris Stapleton, St. Vincent, New Edition and others are also slated to perform.
