While The 34th Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony took place on March 29, 2019, HBO will be airing a special on the event tonight. The HBO special called the 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will feature performances and appearances by many big stars.
There were seven new additions to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. The inductees were The Cure, Def Leppard, Janet Jackson, Stevie Nicks, Radiohead, Roxy Music, and The Zombies. Which artist is your favorite of this bunch?
One Direction’s Harry Styles will present Stevie Nicks. Stevie will perform “Stand Back,” “Leather and Lace” (with Don Henley), “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” (with Harry Styles) and “Edge of Seventeen.”
Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails will present The Cure. They will perform “Shake Dog Shake,” “Lovesong,” “Just Like Heaven” and “Boys Don’t Cry.”
Janelle Monae will present Janet Jackson, but Janet will not be performing.
John Taylor and Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran will present Roxy Music. They will perform “Out of the Blue,” “Avalon,” and “Editions of You.”
David Byrne from Talking Heads will present Radiohead, but they will not perform any songs.
Susanna Hoffs from The Bangles will present The Zombies. They will perform “Time of the Season,” “Tell Her No” and “She’s Not There.”
Brian May from Queen will present Def Leppard. They will perform “Rock of Ages,” “Photograph” and “Pour Some Sugar on Me.”
All-Star Jam will also perform “All the Young Dudes.”
Janet Jackson and Radiohead have apparently refused to perform. Janet was reportedly upset with HBO for airing the controversial documentary Leaving Neverland about her brother. She did show up to accept the award though. Radiohead reportedly didn’t care much about the award, and only two band members showed up for the ceremony.
If you miss tonight’s airing of the special, don’t worry. HBO will continue to stream it. Some songs were edited out from the ceremony for the special, likely due to time. The special on HBO will be around three hours long.
Which performance are you most excited to see tonight? Will you be watching tonight on HBO?
