The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is set to honor some of music's biggest names in 2025. Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden, and The White Stripes are among the performers being inducted. This year's ceremony will take place at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles and will be streamed on Disney+. Chubby Checker, known for his hit "The Twist, " won't be attending due to a scheduling conflict. Other notable inductees include Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon for their musical influence, and Thom Bell, Nicky Hopkins, and Carol Kaye for their musical excellence. Lenny Waronker will receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award. The ceremony will feature performances and appearances by a star-studded lineup, including Missy Elliot, Elton John, Mick Fleetwood, and Flea. Other confirmed attendees are David Letterman, Doja Cat, J. I. D. , Killer Mike, and many more. The list of performers continues to grow, with recent additions like Avril Lavigne, Chappell Roan, and Donald Glover. The inductees were chosen from a list of 14 nominees, with Phish and Billy Idol receiving the most votes in the Fan Vote. The annual In Memoriam segment is expected to be one of the longest ever, honoring the likes of Sly Stone, Ace Frehley, and Ozzy Osbourne. Tickets for the ceremony are available now, and the event will be aired on ABC and Hulu for those who can't attend. The Rock Hall has been releasing updates on performers and presenters through its social media channels, building excitement for the big night.
