The 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction will be live on Saturday, October 19 at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio. The 2024 ceremony will once again stream live on Disney+ with a special airing on ABC at a later date and available on Hulu the next day.
“Rock and Roll is an ever-evolving amalgam of sounds that impacts culture and moves generations,” says John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. “This diverse group of inductees each broke down musical barriers and influenced countless artists that followed in their footsteps.”
The inductees were announced live on ABC by Ryan Seacrest and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Lionel Richie during the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night episode of ‘American Idol’, where the Top 14 American Idol finalists took on songs from legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees as America voted live for the Top 12.
