Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 Inductees Are Here: See Who Made the List
The boys club that comprises this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame class also contains a female solo musician who has always been a striking presence: Cyndi Lauper.
She’s among the seven new inductees, whittled from a list of 14 announced earlier this year, who spotlight a more conventional rock lineup – excepting Atlanta hip-hop innovators Outkast – than the genre-diverse classes of recent years.
The 2025 Rock Hall Inductees
The newest entrants, announced during the live broadcast of the “Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night” episode of American Idol on April 27, are:
- Bad Company
- Chubby Checker
- Joe Cocker
- Cyndi Lauper
- Outkast
- Soundgarden
- The White Stripes
Seven Nation Army wouldn’t hold you back... so why not listen now?
When Does the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony Air?
The full induction ceremony airs live Nov. 8 from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Disney+ and arrives on Hulu the next day. A condensed version will air on ABC at a date yet to be announced.
Who Didn’t Make the Cut?
Those who didn’t make the cut this year include The Black Crowes, Billy Idol, Maná, and Phish – all first-time nominees – along with Mariah Carey and Oasis (both nominated in 2024 for the first time) and Joy Division/New Order (nominated once before in 2023).
