This Saturday 11/7: Watch the 2020 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony (with an Eddie Van Halen Tribute)

Among the many things upended by the COVID-19 pandemic this year was the annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies, which were pushed back from a planned in-person event last May and will now air this Saturday, Nov. 7, in a pre-taped special presentation on HBO and HBO Max (click here to sign up or start a free trial).

As a reminder, the Class of 2020 is an eclectic group of musical acts that will be enshrined into the hallowed halls of the Rock Hall of Fame:

Depeche Mode
The Doobie Brothers
Whitney Houston
Nine Inch Nails
The Notorious B.I.G.
T. Rex

The shift from the traditional in-person event to something taped and premiering on HBO means a different show is in order, of course, but it seems that the Hall of Fame has pulled out all the stops to create the next-best option.

Here’s an official trailer for Saturday’s show, which features appearances from Dave Grohl, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Brad Paisley, Lin Manuel Miranda, Sean “Diddy” Combs and more:

There will also be a special segment paying tribute to late guitarist Eddie Van Halen, who passed away on Oct. 6 at 65 after a battle with cancer. According to Rolling Stone, the EVH segment will feature tributes from Tom Morello, Slash and Kirk Hammett of Metallica.
