Kennedy Center Honors to be held at Capital One Arena

The Kennedy Center Honors ceremony will be staged at Washington DC’s Capital One Arena on 7 December, marking the first time the event will be held away from its traditional venue since the awards began in 1978.

A spokesperson for the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts confirmed the change of location, citing the centre’s ongoing uncertainty over a proposed name change championed by President Donald Trump.

The list of honorees for this year’s ceremony has not yet been released.
