2025 Rock Hall Induction to Stream on Disney+

The 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees are Outkast, Cyndi Lauper, The White Stripes, Chubby Checker, Soundgarden, Bad Company, and Joe Cocker, with several being first-time eligible. Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon will receive the Musical Influence Award, while Thom Bell, Nicky Hopkins, and Carol Kaye are set for Musical Excellence honors, and Lenny Waronker will receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award. The induction ceremony, announced on American Idol, will be held November 8 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and streamed live on Disney+. Cyndi Lauper noted her gratitude and the improving, yet still limited, representation of women among inductees. Outkast's induction, widely praised online, reflects continued hip-hop recognition by the Hall. The 2025 class celebrates a diverse range of genres and artists who have shaped rock and popular music.
