Mick Fleetwood and Joe Perry are among the 19 latest names added to the list of artists who will appear at this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies Nov. 8 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
Other additions officially announced today include Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, Heart’s Nancy Wilson, The Killers, Bryan Adams, Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, Gina Schock of the Go-Go’s and the Tedeschi Trucks Band.
Fleetwood will give the induction speech for Bad Company, drummer Simon Kirke revealed in a new interview. Cyndi Lauper will reportedly be inducted by Chappell Roan, who’s also expected to perform.

Who Else Will Appear at the 2025 Rock Hall Inductions?
The 40th edition of the annual gala event is particularly loaded up with star power this year. Elton John and Iggy Pop were among the initial guests annouinced. David Letterman is set to appear, presumably to give the induction speech honoring his late friend, Warren Zevon, who is receiving the Musical Influence Award this year.
Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beck, Missy Elliott, Questlove, Brandi Carlile and Olivia Rodrigo will also make appearances during the induction ceremonies, which will air live on Disney+, at 5PM PST, 6PM MST, 7PM CST and 8PM EST, and will be available for a la carte streaming after the ceremony. ABC will also present a primetime special with performance highlights on Thursday, Jan. 1, 2026. Those standout moments will begin streaming the next day on Hulu.
Who Will Be Performing This Year?
Though it’s been unclear whether or not Bad Company would perform due to Paul Rodgers‘ health issues in recent years, Kirke shared that he and the singer are set to play two songs together at the ceremonies, something that he’s looking forward to. The surviving members of Soundgarden are also planning to play together in some form. Former bassist Hiro Yamamoto posted a photo recently of himself with the band’s Ben Shepherd, Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron.
Meanwhile, Cameron has been posting photos as well in his Instagram stories that show some of the guests visiting rehearsal to practice, including Cantrell and Taylor Momsen of the Pretty Reckless.
It’s unclear who will pay tribute to Joe Cocker, but the recent additions of both Tedeschi Trucks Band (who have previously paid homage to the legendary vocalist with a full album performance of Mad Dogs & Englishmen) and also Nathaniel Rateliff offer some interesting possibilities. Bryan Adams, who collaborated with Cocker in the past, also seems to be a likely participant. Cyndi Lauper is expected to perform and though bassist Carol Kaye and Chubby Checker have both said they will not be attending, it’s possible there could be some sort of musical section to honor them.
