How to watch the Rock Hall of Fame induction
The 37th Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony took place Saturday, Nov. 5, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
But you don't have to be in California to experience the highlights as the hall inducts Duran Duran, Pat Benatar (with Neil Giraldo), Eminem, Eurythmics, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie and Carly Simon as the Class of 2022, while also honoring additional performers and industry figures in three separate categories.
You just have to wait a couple weeks until the ceremony makes its way to HBO and HBO Max after being condensed for your viewing pleasure.
Will the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction be televised?
Yes.
You may be thinking of the revolution, which will not be televised — as Gil Scott-Heron told us long before his own induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as an Early Influence.
Where can I watch the Rock & Roll
Hall of Fame induction ceremony 2022?
The ceremony airs at 5 p.m. Arizona time on Saturday, Nov. 19, on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max alongside a radio simulcast on SiriusXM’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Radio channel 310 and Volume channel 106.

Who will be inducted to the
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022?
The Class of 2022 is an eclectic mix, from Duran Duran and Eurythmics repping the New Wave era to country icon Dolly Parton, hip-hop legend Eminen, Pat Benatar (with husband Neil Giraldo), Lionel Richie and Carly Simon.
Five of those seven performers are first-time nominees.
The performer category honors bands and solo artists who have created music with originality, impact and influence that the hall believes has changed the course of rock 'n' roll.
That's all very subjective, of course.
The hall will also honor Judas Priest and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis for Musical Excellence; Harry Belafonte and Elizabeth Cotten as Early Influences; and Allen Grubman, Jimmy Iovine and Sylvia Robinson with the Ahmet Ertegun Award.
The Musical Excellence Award, according to the rock hall's website, is presented to “artists, musicians, songwriters and producers whose originality and influence
creating music have had a dramatic impact on music.”
The Ahmet Ertegun Award honors non-performing industry officials who have made a major influence on the creative development and growth of rock 'n' roll and music that has impacted youth culture.
The Early Influence Award is right there in the name.

How the museum will honor this year's inductees A special exhibit dedicated to this year’s inductees opened Wednesday, Nov. 2, at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland and features a wide array of artifacts from this year’s class.
Highlights include:
● Dolly Parton’s Gibson Blueshawk guitar as featured on the Backwoods Barbie tour.
● Carly Simon’s handwritten lyric draft for “You’re So Vain” (which is not, as it turns out, about you).
● Eminem’s outfit as seen on the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show.
● Elizabeth Cotton’s Acoustic guitar that she began playing in the 1950s, leading to her career as an influential artist of the American folk music revival.
● Pat Benatar’s coat from the video for “Invincible.”
Ian Hill’s Fender Jazz Bass guitar played on every Judas Priest album and tour between 1974 and 1984.
Who has the most inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

All four Beatles have been inducted twice.
So has the most successful artist ever born in Phoenix — Stevie Nicks is in there as a solo artist and with Fleetwood Mac.
