Get ready for an exciting celebration of music history! The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has just announced its lineup of dazzling special guests who will grace the stage at the upcoming induction ceremony set for November 2025. Among the stars scheduled to appear are pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo, the genre-blurring Doja Cat, and music legend Elton John, all of whom are expected to bring their unique flair to this prestigious event.
The complete list, revealed on Wednesday, also features a formidable group of artists including Beck, Brandi Carlile, David Letterman, Flea, Iggy Pop, J.I.D., Killer Mike, Maxwell, Missy Elliott, Questlove, RAYE, Sleepy Brown, Taylor Momsen, Teddy Swims, and the chart-topping Twenty One Pilots. Each of these talented individuals will take part in performances or presentations designed to honor this year’s inductees. However, the Rock Hall has yet to clarify who will be performing or which inductee each guest will pay tribute to, leaving plenty of room for speculation and excitement.
John Sykes, the chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, shared his enthusiasm in a statement, saying, "Every year, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony gathers some of the most influential artists in today’s music scene, allowing them to celebrate the icons who have inspired their careers and artistry. Artists from across the globe come together to create memorable musical moments that resonate through time."
Mark your calendars for November 8, when the ceremony returns to the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles—its first visit back since 2022. Fans can catch all the action starting at 5 p.m. on Disney+, making it easy to be part of this momentous occasion from the comfort of home. This year’s list of inductees features renowned performers such as Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden, and The White Stripes.
Additionally, Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon will be recognized for their Musical Influence, while Thom Bell, Nicky Hopkins, and Carol Kaye are set to receive honors for Musical Excellence. The esteemed Ahmet Ertegun Award will be presented to executive Lenny Waronker.
This lineup is sure to spark lively conversation—who are you most excited to see? Are there any surprises you hope to witness during the ceremony? We'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions in the comments!
