The rockers will be honored alongside Joe Cocker, The White Stripes, Chubby Checker, Cindi Lauper and Outkast at the 2025 Induction event on Saturday, November 8 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, CA.
The honorees were announced live Sunday evening by American Idol host Ryan Seacrest.
To be eligible for induction, an individual artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination.
Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Bad Company, and Outkast are first-time nominees, whereas Cyndi Lauper, Soundgarden, and The White Stripes have all been nominated before.
“Each of these inductees created their own sound and attitude that had a profound impact on culture and helped to change the course of Rock & Roll forever,” said John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. “Their music gave a voice to generations and influenced countless artists that followed in their footsteps.”
Warren Zevon and Salt-N-Pepa are being recognized with the Musical Influence Award; Thom Bell, Nicky Hopkins and Carol Kaye will be honored in the Musical Excellence Award; and music executive Lenny Waronker will receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award.
Ticket information for the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be announced at a later date.
The event will once again stream live on Disney+, with a special airing on ABC at a later date and available on Hulu the next day.
