The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's 2023 induction ceremony will be streamed live for the first time, as Disney+ has picked up rights for the live broadcast.

Disney+ will livestream the event from Brooklyn's Barclays Center on November 3 at 8 p.m. ET/5 PT and be available for streaming on-demand following the ceremony.

"This historic live stream on Disney+ and special on ABC is a testament to the diverse sounds and enduring power of rock and roll," said John Sykes, chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. "Over the last three decades, the annual live Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction has become music's highest honor, celebrating the artists who've defined generations and changed music forever."

This year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees include Kate Bush, Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, George Michael, Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine and The Spinners, along with DJ Kool Herc and Link Wray for musical influence, and Chaka Khan, Al Kooper, Bernie Taupin for musical excellence. Don Cornelius will also be honored with the Ahmet Ertegn Award.

Katy Perry will join the "Peppa Pig" franchise as a guest voice star in an episode from the all-new, 3-part "Peppa Pig Wedding Party Special" that is set to premiere in Spring 2024.
