"The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has announced its billing for its 2025 induction ceremony. Among the names included are contemporary stars such as Doja Cat and Olivia Rodrigo, while also lending a retrospective lens to icons such as Elton John and Iggy Pop. One name that sticks out is television personality David Letterman, who stepped down from late-night programming a decade ago."
"The Hall of Fame rolled out its inductees earlier this year on April 28. Chubby Checker, who kicked off his career with "The Twist" in 1960, will be getting a nod in the performer category. Hip-hop legends Outkast will receive the same honors. "Their groundbreaking albums and chart-topping hits challenged industry norms and established the 'Dirty South' as a powerful creative force," the institution previously wrote of the Georgia-born duo on Instagram."
The 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame billing mixes contemporary stars and legacy icons, naming Doja Cat, Olivia Rodrigo, Elton John and Iggy Pop among participants. Television personality David Letterman is listed as a notable presenter possibility, with earlier presenters including Ryan Seacrest and Carrie Keagan and Letterman credited with giving early platforms to R.E.M., Weezer and The White Stripes. Other listed names include Missy Elliott, Flea, Brandi Carlile, Killer Mike, Beck and Questlove. Inductees announced earlier include Chubby Checker and Outkast, with Outkast credited for establishing the 'Dirty South' and influencing generations. Additional inductees include Bad Company, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Soundgarden, The White Stripes, Salt-N-Pepa, Warren Zevon, Thom Bell, Nicky Hopkins, Carol Kaye and Lenny Waronker. The induction ceremony is set for Nov. 8 at the Peacock Theater, and a museum exhibition opens in Cleveland starting Oct. 31.
