Where to see Yes, Journey, ELO and the rest…
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2017 inductees will convene at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on April 7 and, presumably, most of them will perform at least a song or three. You’ll be able to watch highlights of the event on HBO on April 29, but the best way to experience these artists is to make your way to one of their concerts.
Fortunately, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to do so this year. Of the new inductees, a few have full schedules on their plate. A couple are playing a handful of selected dates. Just two—Yes and Pearl Jam—currently have no dates scheduled. (One inductee Tupac Shakur, of course, is deceased.)
We’ve gathered up all of the known 2017 dates by the new inductees. In the case of Yes, the current lineup of Yes itself (which includes singer Jon Davison, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, keyboardist Geoff Downes and bassist Billy Sherwood) recently completed a U.S. tour. We’ve listed dates for ARW, the band featuring former Yes members Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman.
Tickets for the induction ceremony are sold-out but available on the secondary market via Ticket Network.
