Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2021 Induction Ceremony Returning to Cleveland, Set for 10/30

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced on Tuesday that the 36th Annual Induction Ceremony is set for Oct. 30, 2021, and will return to Cleveland, Ohio, where it will take place for the first time at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, home of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers.

The arena is about a mile from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and recently underwent a massive, $185M renovation to make it a premier event-hosting facility.

2020, of course, saw the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alter its plans for an in-person induction ceremony and celebration due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ultimately putting together a “virtual” event. The Hall hopes to have attendees in person at the Hall of Fame in Cleveland, should the state of the pandemic allow it.

The 16 acts nominated for 2021 inclusion in the hallowed halls of the Hall of Fame are now up for the Van Vote, which will factor in the decision-making process:

Fans can vote for their favorite Nominees now through April 30, 2021 at vote.rockhall.com. The top five artists, as selected by the public, will comprise a “fans’ ballot” that will be tallied along with the other ballots to select the 2021 Inductees will be honored on October 30, 2021 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Inductees will be announced in May 2021.
