The annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction will be in Cleveland more often, beginning in 2018.

According to a Rock Hall spokesperson, the induction will be held in Cleveland every other year, rather than every three years as it is scheduled now. 

"This is a direct result of the momentum of the Rock Hall, the success of the ceremonies here and the support from the greater Cleveland community," said Todd Mesek, Vice President of Marketing and Communications. "Induction Week in Cleveland is a proven winner."

The induction ceremony was first opened for the public in 2009. In 2012, it was broadcast on HBO for the first time.

Last year, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Stevie Wonder, Green Day, Joan Jett and Miley Cyrus were all brought to the city as part of the event. 

"Our mission to engage, teach and inspire fans and artists through the power of rock and roll has generated hard, tangible results and those results and confidence of the community has led to our commitment to bring the Inductions to Cleveland every other year," said Mesek.
