Cleveland will rock more often starting in a couple years.
Friday night's Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will honor the class of 2016 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, but it will soon return to Cleveland and will continue to do so on a more regular basis.
In an interview with the website Den of Geek, Rock Hall CEO Joel Peresman said that next year's induction ceremony will remain in Brooklyn, but will come home to Cleveland every other year starting in 2018.
Peresman said Cleveland "really just came around in the past few years to being able to afford to do the fundraising they need to do for an event of this size".
You can see this year's ceremony on HBO on April 30.
They haven't been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - yet - but a popular Akron band will help bring in new Rock Hall inductees this year.
Akron's Black Keys will help induct the 2016 Rock Hall class in April along with Rob Thomas and Lars Ulrich of Metallica. Cheap Trick, Chicago, Deep Purple, N.W.A. and Steve Miller will go into the Rock Hall this year.
Todd Mesek with the Rock Hall tells WAKR's Jasen Sokol that the Black Keys are influenced musically, like other current bands, by Rock Hall of Famers.
Though there are often performances involving Rock Hall guests, Mesek says things aren't set yet for this year.
The induction will be in New York on April 8th, and will be aired later that month on HBO.
