Get ready for the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame ceremony this weekend

Billy Idol, Oasis, Wu-Tang Clan, Phil Collins, Sade, Queen Latifah, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order and the late Luther Vandross will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday.
That's been established since the announcement six months ago. But not much has been revealed about who will show up, who will perform, who will induct them and who will give musical tributes to the new members.
Fans learned Monday that Oasis will be a no-show. Iron Maiden previously revealed they won't be there either. A few more answers are likely to trickle out this week, but the Rock Hall likes to keep most of the show a surprise.
For the second straight year, the ceremony that moves between Cleveland, New York and Los Angeles will be held at the Peacock Theater in downtown LA. After two years of streaming it live, the Rock Hall is returning to its previous model, where the public won't see it until an edited version airs on ABC and Disney+ in December.
The list of 2026 honorees also includes MC Lyte, Celia Cruz, Fela Kuti and Gram Parsons, along with music producers Rick Rubin, Linda Creed, Arif Mardin and Jimmy Miller and variety show host Ed Sullivan.
Eight of this year's inductees came in through the main entrance - the performer category. A nominating committee put them up for a vote from more than 1,200 people including music industry figures and historians. Artists become eligible for the hall 25 years after their first music release, but it can take much longer for them to be nominated.
The 75-year-old English singer, songwriter and drummer is already in the hall as a member of Genesis and now gets in again for a solo career that brought some of the biggest hits of the 1980s.
The eight-time Grammy winner got in with his first solo nomination and had been eligible since 2006.
Will he perform? No. Collins has said the health problems that have kept him off the stage since 2022 will keep him from performing Saturday. It's not clear whether he'll appear to accept the honour.
