Saturday night in Los Angeles, one of the biggest Rock & Roll Hall of Fame classes in years takes the stage — Wu-Tang Clan, Oasis, Phil Collins, Iron Maiden and more — and Cleveland gets it back next year.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2026 induction ceremony is Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. It is a stacked night, and it is also a reminder of where this all belongs: the Rock Hall lives in Cleveland, Los Angeles is hosting for the second year running, and the ceremony returns to Cleveland in 2027.

The Class of 2026

The performer inductees are Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Sade, Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan. The class was announced April 13, 2026, on an episode of American Idol. Wu-Tang Clan, Phil Collins, and Luther Vandross are first-time nominees.

Oasis arrive in a reunion-tour year, back together and back in front of the huge crowds that made them one of the defining rock bands of their generation.

Wu-Tang Clan arrive in a farewell-tour year, closing the book on a run that changed hip-hop forever — and they are not slowing down for the holidays, either.

Phil Collins earns his second induction — he was inducted with Genesis in 2010 — a rare honor that puts his solo career alongside his work with one of rock’s biggest bands.

Rounding out the performer class are Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Sade, and Luther Vandross — eight acts, eight very different paths to the same stage.

How to Watch

Here is the part to put in your calendar: the ceremony is taped Saturday, November 14, at 7 p.m. PST at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. It airs on ABC on Tuesday, December 8, 2026, streaming the next day on Hulu and Disney+.

So Saturday is the night it happens. December 8 is the night you watch it.

The Other Honors

The night is about more than the performer inductees. The Early Influence awards go to Queen Latifah, Gram Parsons, Celia Cruz, Fela Kuti, and MC Lyte. The Musical Excellence awards go to Linda Creed, Arif Mardin, Jimmy Miller, and Rick Rubin. The Ahmet Ertegun Award goes posthumously to Ed Sullivan.

The Ohio Angle

For Ohio, this is a homecoming-in-waiting. The Rock Hall is Cleveland’s, and after two years in Los Angeles, the ceremony comes back to Cleveland in 2027. Saturday’s show is the appetizer — next year, it is ours again.

And Wu-Tang Clan are not done with the Midwest after Saturday, either. Twelve days later, on Nov. 26, they headline the Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving halftime show at Ford Field. We already covered that halftime show — read our story on Wu-Tang Clan playing the Lions’ Thanksgiving halftime show — so if you are anywhere near Detroit for Thanksgiving, the Rock Hall is only the start of their November.
