Saturday’s Rock Hall ceremony brings hip-hop, soul and rock into one broad class.
Wu-Tang Clan joins the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame performer class at the November 14 ceremony. The event takes place at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater.
Sade and Luther Vandross are also performer inductees. Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order and Oasis complete that category.
Queen Latifah and MC Lyte receive Early Influence honors. Their fellow recipients are Fela Kuti, Celia Cruz and Gram Parsons.
The Musical Excellence category recognizes Rick Rubin, Linda Creed, Arif Mardin and Jimmy Miller. Ed Sullivan receives the Ahmet Ertegun Award.
The ceremony is being taped, not presented as a live broadcast. The Hall’s announcement says it will debut on ABC and Disney+ in December.
The full class was announced in April; this weekend brings the formal celebration. Saturday’s event precedes the ceremony’s planned return to Cleveland in 2027.
