The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is set to induct its latest class of musical artists who, once again, have been influential for decades in multiple genres beyond the institution’s namesake.
From rock acts like Ozzy Osbourne, to pop stars like Cher, to hip-hop icons like Mary J. Blige, this year’s inductees “represent the power of musical creativity and the ability to shape the sound and style of popular music,” the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame said in a statement.
After the acts were announced back in April, the induction ceremony is set to take place this weekend amid a week of related hoopla in Cleveland, Ohio. In addition to the inductees, the Rock Hall has also announced a star-studded list of special guests attending as both presenters and performers, including Dr. Dre, Dua Lipa, James Taylor, Jelly Roll, Keith Urban and Slash.
Here’s how to watch this year’s induction ceremony:
