The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2026 nominees have been announced. Sade, Phil Collins, Mariah Carey, Joy Division and New Order, Oasis, the Black Crowes, Iron Maiden, and Billy Idol made the shortlist this year, alongside first-time nominees Luther Vandross, Lauryn Hill, Wu-Tang Clan, Jeff Buckley, Melissa Etheridge, INXS, New Edition, Shakira, and P!NK.
The Class of 2026 will be revealed in late April, with the official ceremony set to be held in the fall. An international voting body of more than 1,200 artists, historians, and members of the music industry will determine the inductees, in addition to a fan vote on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s website.
Last year, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Salt-N-Pepa, and the White Stripes were among the Rock Hall’s class of inductees.
