On Tuesday, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced a thrilling addition to its star-studded special guest lineup for the upcoming induction ceremony. Chappell Roan and The Killers join an illustrious group that already includes Olivia Rodrigo, Doja Cat, Elton John, Beck, Brandi Carlile, David Letterman, Flea, Iggy Pop, J.I.D, Killer Mike, Maxwell, Missy Elliott, Questlove, RAYE, Sleepy Brown, Taylor Momsen, Teddy Swims, and Twenty One Pilots.
These special guests will be gracing the stage at the 40th Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on November 8 at L.A.'s Peacock Theater to "present, perform, and honor this year's Inductees," as per a release from the organization. However, it remains a mystery who will take the stage for a performance or simply present.
The 2025 ceremony will see the induction of iconic acts such as Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden, and The White Stripes. The musical influence of Hip hop group Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon will also be recognized. Furthermore, Thom Bell, Nicky Hopkins, and Carol Kaye will be honored for their musical excellence, and Lenny Waronker will receive the prestigious Ahmet Ertegun award.
"Each year, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony brings together the most influential artists in music today to honor their heroes who have inspired their music and careers," Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation chairman John Sykes previously stated in a statement. "These artists come from around the world to create lifetime musical moments that will live on forever."
Fans can purchase tickets for the ceremony in L.A., but the show will also be streamed live on Disney+ at 5 p.m. PT and 8 p.m. ET. A primetime special version of the ceremony will air on New Year's Day on ABC and will be available on Hulu the next day.
