Rock Hall Induction Ceremony Will Have a Presenting Sponsor for the First Time

For the first time in its 43-year history, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will have an event and broadcast “presenting sponsor.” This year’s inaugural partnership is with Capital One.

“The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony celebrates the iconic artists and sounds that have shaped generations,” John Sykes, chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, said in a statement. “We welcome Capital One as a partner in our commitment to expand the reach of this annual celebration to fans everywhere.”

We look forward to creating unforgettable experiences that bring fans closer than ever to the artists, music and experiences they love.”
