The 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony is shaping up to be as much a spectacle as an honor for the artists entering the hallowed ranks. Scheduled for November 8 in Los Angeles, the event will showcase a parade of high-profile presenters and musical performances alongside the formal inductions.

Among the confirmed presenters are Elton John, Doja Cat, Olivia Rodrigo, Questlove, Missy Elliott, and Twenty One Pilots — a diverse ensemble pulling from rock, pop, hip-hop, and alternative scenes. Also joining them will be icons like Iggy Pop, Beck, Flea, and media figure David Letterman, adding both musical and cultural gravitas to the evening.

Onstage performances are expected, offering tributes and set pieces that reflect the breadth of influence represented by this year’s inductees: Bad Company, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden, The White Stripes, Joe Cocker, and Chubby Checker. Special awards will also be bestowed — Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon will receive the Musical Influence Award, while Thom Bell, Nicky Hopkins, and Carol Kaye will be honored with the Musical Excellence Award.

As streaming and broadcast arrangements have revealed, the ceremony will be live on Disney+, with subsequent airing on ABC and Hulu, giving fans across the country access to a night of legacy, celebration, and performance.
