The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has announced the presenters and performers for its 2025 induction ceremony, set to stage at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater on Nov. 8. This year’s edition of the standard-bearing music institution’s annual celebration will feature appearances from a total of 18 artists spanning genres and generations, including Elton John, Iggy Pop, Questlove, Brandi Carlile, Flea, Beck and Missy Elliott.

In keeping with its traditional process, the hall has not detailed who will perform and who will present, and further additions to the lineup are expected in the weeks leading to the event. The other artists confirmed for the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony are Doja Cat, J.I.D, Killer Mike, Maxwell, Olivia Rodrigo, Raye, Sleepy Brown, Taylor Momsen, Teddy Swims, Twenty One Pilots and David Letterman, the evening’s sole non-musical guest. 

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame unveiled the class of 2025 in April, cutting its initial ballot of 14 candidates down to just seven acts, alongside six more musicians and music professionals named by the hall’s board of directors. The seven entrants into the Performer category, which enshrines acts of outstanding “originality, impact, and influence,” are Bad Company, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden The White Stripes and Chubby Checker, this year’s oldest inductee who popularized “The Twist” and famously protested the Hall of Fame in 2002 for his lack of recognition. Lauper, Soundgarden and The White Stripes have been nominated for the award before, while Cocker, Checker, Bad Company and Outkast were first-time nominees.

The other 2025 recognized artists in the Rock Hall’s new arrivals are Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon with the Musical Influence Award, which focuses on the cultural impact of artists, and Thom Bell, Nicky Hopkins and Carol Kaye with the Musical Excellence Award, which enshrines artists, musicians, songwriters and producers alike for the groundbreaking originality of their work. Former Warner Bros. Records and DreamWorks Records President Lenny Waronker earned the Ahmet Ertegun Award, which recognizes non-performers who have had a significant impact on the music industry.

The 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will stream live on Disney+ on Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. ET. Learn more about the event and inductees at rockhall.com.
