For the first time ever, music fans can watch the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony live! The 40th annual event will stream on Disney+ from LA’s Peacock Theater on November 8. Big names like Elton John, Iggy Pop, Olivia Rodrigo, Missy Elliott, Questlove, Flea, and Doja Cat will take the stage.
If you miss the live show, don’t worry! ABC will air a highlight special on January 1, 2026, and you can catch the full ceremony on Hulu starting the next day. This year’s class is packed with talent. Bad Company, Maná, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden, and The White Stripes will all be inducted. Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon will also be honored for their musical contributions.
An all-star lineup will pay tribute to these legends. The surviving members of Bad Company are thrilled about their induction, which was largely driven by fan support. Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs, and Simon Kirke will be part of the celebration.
John Sykes, the leader of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, said, “Each year, the induction ceremony brings together the most influential artists in music today to honor their heroes.”
This year, producer Thom Bell and studio legends Nicky Hopkins and Carol Kaye will receive Musical Excellence Awards. Music executive Lenny Waronker will be honored with the Ahmet Ertegun Award.
Starting October 31, visitors to the Cleveland Museum can check out new exhibits. Highlights include Cyndi Lauper’s original lyrics for “Time After Time,” outfits from The White Stripes’ “Icky Thump,” and Andre 3000’s iconic costume from “Hey Ya.”
