The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has announced its class of 2026. Oasis, Phil Collins, Wu-Tang Clan, Joy Division/New Order, Sade, Iron Maiden, Billy Idol, and Luther Vandross are this year’s inductees. The induction ceremony will take place on November 14 in Los Angeles.
The Hall of Fame announced the nominated acts back in February. Jeff Buckley, Lauryn Hill, INXS, Melissa Etheridge, Pink, and Shakira are among those who didn’t make the cut. With the exception of Wu-Tang Clan and Luther Vandross, every other inductee had been nominated for induction before. Phil Collins is already in the Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis.
The Rock Hall’s Early Influence Award will be handed out to MC Lyte and Queen Latifah, Celia Cruz, Fela Kuti, and Gram Parsons. The recipients of the Musical Excellence Award are producers Rick Rubin, Arif Mardin, and Jimmy Miller, and Philly soul songwriter Linda Creed. The Ahmet Ertegun Award, which goes to behind-the-scenes figures, is going to the late Ed Sullivan.
