You actually thought Meg White was going to show up? The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was filled with some pretty decent highs and annoying lows. Here’s everything you need to know.

If you missed the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, it will be streaming on Hulu and Disney+ tomorrow. Full rundown of the performances at the ceremony here: futurerocklegends.com/Induction_Pe...

Outkast segment showing why it was so absurd it took them this long to get on the ballot and be inducted.

The Killers ran through a great version of Zevon's "Lawyers, Guns and Money" Thom Bell video package followed. (90 minutes into the ceremony, only one performer has been inducted so far)

Salt-N-Pepa were inducted by Missy Elliott and then ran through an electric medley of their biggest hits. The Nicky Hopkins video package followed leading into David Letterman inducting Warren Zevon.

After opening the induction ceremony with an electric Sly Stone tribute, they follow that up with a lackluster Bad Company segment marred by technical difficulties.

OutKast is here!

Rock Hall president John Sykes has arrived on the red carpet

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony red carpet is now streaming on YouTube www.youtube.com/live/d0lsELh...

Full John Sykes interview www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

John Sykes: “I think that’s what you’ll see in this year’s induction ceremony, where we’re paying tribute to those great artists, like Sly [a.k.a. ] Sylvester Stewart, like Brian Wilson and others that we’ve lost, and Warren Zevon. You’ll see some incredible moments we’ve got ready to go.”

John Sykes: “Jack White will be in the room. Whether he’ll be onstage, you’re going to have to find out. ... But I promise you, there are going to be some amazing artists celebrating the music of the White Stripes on that stage.”

After struggling to sell tickets to the ceremony, the Rock Hall finally cut the prices down to $145 for all remaining seats. Here is a look at the current availability 36 hours before the event.

Chris Robinson has just been added to the lineup. The Black Crowes were a first time nominee this year.

Jerry Cantrell, Mike McCready, Taylor Momsen, Nancy Wilson, and Brandi Carlile will perform with Soundgarden’s surviving members at the band’s Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction this weekend. Momsen’s ‘How The Grinch Stole Christmas’ co-star Jim Carrey is expected to give the induction speech.

Didn't Rundgren only get a video package too?

In a new interview, John Sykes says the Rock Hall is rotating equally between New York, Cleveland, and L.A. This contradicts a museum spokesperson from 2022 who insisted Cleveland would get the ceremony every other year, with New York and L.A. getting the ceremony every four years. archive.ph/VxGaH

This Rock Hall promotional poster has no mention of Chubby Checker as a 2025 inductee. He may end up being the first Performer inductee who only gets a video package at the ceremony. No speech, no performance.

The Disney+ promo only mentions inductees Bad Company, Cyndi Lauper, Salt-N-Pepa, and Soundgarden as performing at the ceremony. Notably there is no mention of OutKast or The White Stripes.

Elton John will be performing a tribute to Brian Wilson at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday.

Ticket availability update: Most of the orchestra seats on the sides have disappeared. Lots of expensive seats can still be bought for face value. Stubhub prices start at $189. Five days until the ceremony!

Unfortunately, Paul Rodgers has dropped out of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony due to health reasons. That will leave Simon Kirke as the only Bad Company member who will be in the performance.

Also noticed Billie Holiday showing as a Performer inductee rather than Influence:

If this sounds familiar, you may remember the Rock Hall’s previous website redesigns from 2016 and 2019 which also had some embarrassing errors.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame unveiled a new website this week but unfortunately introduced a number of basic factual errors. None of these artists were inducted in the Performer category, including one of this year’s inductees.

There still doesn’t seem to be evidence of a Chubby Checker show on November 8th, but he is playing a 400-seat Wisconsin casino next month.

Taylor Momsen tweeted a link to an article which says that Jim Carrey will be inducting Soundgarden at the Rock Hall induction ceremony

Chubby Checker claimed he is skipping his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction because he “has a gig” that night. It’s a week away. Anyone know where it is?

So... Twenty One Pilots are going to be the ones performing "Seven Nation Army" at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Not a great sign for any kind of performance from Jack White (Meg was always a super longshot). No word on whether or not Jack will attend the ceremony at all.

@altmadison.bsky.social shared on SiriusXM’s Lithium that Brandi Carlile told Howard Stern on his show that Carlile will be singing “Black Hole Sun” for #Soundgarden at the #RockHall induction ceremony. #RockHall2025

Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron has shared that Taylor Momsen, Mike McCready, and Jerry Cantrell have been rehearsing with the band for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony

En Vogue have now been added to the lineup, likely performing "Whatta Man" with Salt-N-Pepa.

Chappell Roan will be inducting Cyndi Lauper at the Rock Hall induction ceremony. The Killers were also announced as guests.

Last week, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced 12 more names to their list of presenters and performers. Did any of that publicity move the needle on ticket sales? [no]

“After this, Zevon’s actual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction down the street in a couple of weeks may seem anticlimactic”

Mike McCready and Bryan Adams will also appear at the Rock Hall induction ceremony
