CLEVELAND — The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced Tuesday that the 2021 induction ceremony will take place at Rocket Mortgage Field House in Cleveland on Oct. 30.

President and CEO Greg Harris said the ceremony’s move to the fall will likely stick, going forward, news outlets reported.

The last in-person ceremony before the pandemic, held in March 2019, took place New York’s Barclays Center, but the hall of fame itself is located in the Ohio city.

Last year’s ceremony was canceled because of the coronaviru­s pandemic, and eventually replaced with an HBO special honoring the inductees.

The 16 nominees this year include Mary J. Blige, Kate Bush, DEVO, Foo Fighters, The Go-Go’s, Iron Maiden, Jay-Z, Chaka Khan, Carole King, Fela Kuti, LL Cool J, New York Dolls, Rage Against the Machine, Todd Rundgren, Tina Turner and Dionne Warwick.

Ballots are sent to an internatio­nal voting body, but the top five winners of the annual fan vote — held until April 30 — have a better chance at induction.

The current leaders of that poll are, from the top, Fela Kuti, Tina Turner, the Foo Fighters, Iron Maiden, and The Go-Gos.
