Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to Proceed as Planned Despite FAA Grounding Flights Nationwide
Ceremony remains on schedule
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony is set for tomorrow at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The FAA’s nationwide flight grounding began Friday afternoon, but the event is expected to proceed as planned.
A Rock Hall representative confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that all artists taking part are already in Los Angeles. The representative said rehearsals had been underway for two days and described the show as one audiences should not miss.
Performers and honorees
This year’s performer inductees include Phil Collins, Wu-Tang Clan, Oasis, Billy Idol, Luther Vandross, Sade, Joy Division/New Order and Iron Maiden. Oasis, Sade and Iron Maiden had already said they would not attend.
Travel disruption may spread
The flight grounding could create problems for other entertainment events if it lasts through tomorrow. The Film Academy’s Governors Awards, which are scheduled for Sunday, are one event that could face travel complications.
A longer disruption could also affect concerts if performers need to fly to their venues. ESPN reported Friday that the ground stop had disrupted air travel for several college football teams heading to weekend games.
