The 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is set to take place on Nov. 8, with the first round of presenters and performers announced on Oct. 8. The ceremony will honor a diverse group of music legends, including Bad Company, Chubby Checker, the late Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden, and the White Stripes.

In addition to the inductees, the ceremony will also celebrate the achievements of Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon, who are receiving the Musical Influence Award, and Thom Bell, Nicky Hopkins, and Carol Kaye, who will be honored with the Musical Excellence Award. Lenny Waronker will receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award for his contributions to the industry.
