Tonight at New York’s Waldorf Astoria, the Stooges, Genesis and Abba will join the esteemed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, along with the Hollies and Jimmy Cliff. Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, Phish’s Trey Anastasio, the E Street Band’s Steven Van Zandt and Wyclef Jean will induct the honorees, and Chris Isaak, Faith Hill, Ronnie Spector and members of Maroon 5 are scheduled to take the stage to cap with the ceremony with live performances. As RS reported, Peter Gabriel will not attend the ceremony, preventing a full Genesis reunion; similarly, half of Abba will not be in attendance.

Stay tuned for a full report from the scene, plus photos from tonight’s big event and the scoop on what went down behind the scenes. And watch the show live on Fuse, starting tonight at 8:30 p.m.

In addition to headlining Bonnaroo for the first time, Kings of Leon will hit the road this summer for a tour of mostly outdoor amphitheaters and sheds. The Followill boys will kick off a 31-date trek on June 5th in Atlantic City, New Jersey, before crossing the country to perform in most American cities ranging from San Diego and Phoenix to Hartford, Connecticut, and Pittsburgh. The tour wraps up on September 23rd in Dallas; tickets go on sale this Friday and Saturday. “We are stoked to get back on the road,” Nathan Followill tells Rolling Stone. “We’ve had a little break and are starting to get that itch. It will be cool to see if we can sneak in some new shit to see if the kids dig it. Late April the next musical adventure begins.”

Check out photos from Kings of Leon’s family album.

Expect demand for tickets to be high and the crowds to swell at these shows. The Kings just picked up three Grammy wins including Record of the Year for their monster hit “Use Somebody.” And their latest album Only by the Night was also certified as iTunes’ top-selling album of last year, beating out Lady Gaga’s The Fame and Taylor Swift’s Fearless. See the full itinerary after the jump.
