Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker and Cyndi Lauper will also be enshrined during Nov. 8 ceremony

Strange bedfellows are common at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s annual induction ceremony, and this year’s will be no different thanks to a class including Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden and the White Stripes. The event will be held Nov. 8 at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater and will be streamed live on Disney+. Next-day viewing will be available on Hulu, with an ABC special to follow at a later date.

Soundgarden, the White Stripes and Lauper have all been nominated previously (artists are eligible 25 years after the release of their first commercial recording). The 2025 nominees who did not make the final cut are Oasis, Joy Division/New Order, Mariah Carey, the Black Crowes, Billy Idol, Manä and Phish, who earlier this week won the largely ceremonial fan vote.
