The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has announced its initial lineup of performers and presenters set to participate in its 2025 induction ceremony, which goes down at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on November 8th.
With beloved artists like Cyndi Lauper, Joe Cocker, The White Stripes, OutKast, Soundgarden, Warren Zevon, Chubby Checker, Bad Company, and Salt-N-Pepa set to enshrined as part at this year’s induction ceremony, several other icons will welcome them to the stage or perform in their honor. While it’s unknown who is performing and who is simply presenting (and for who), the Rock Hall has revealed the initial list of special guests, with more to be announced in the coming weeks.
The performers and presenters include: Olivia Rodrigo, Elton John, David Letterman, Iggy Pop, Killer Mike, Doja Cat, Beck, Flea, Missy Elliott, Brandi Carlile, Questlove, Twenty One Pilots, J.I.D., Maxwell, RAYE, Teddy Swims, Taylor Momsen, and Sleepy Brown.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s 2025 induction ceremony will stream live on Disney+ on November 8th. It will also be available on Hulu following its premiere, and will receive a special broadcast airing on ABC on January 1st. Of the 2025 inductees, Chubby Checker is confirmed to not be attending, as he opted to play gig instead, while Carole Kaye declined her induction back in June as she felt the honor doesn’t accurately reflect the work of her studio and session musician peers.
