With a list full of rising stars, late-night legends, music icons, and the comedic genius Jim Carrey, the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony is set to be a star-studded spectacle unlike anything fans have seen before. 

And making sure fans don’t miss a single second, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will kick off on Saturday, November 8th, at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on Disney+. With Disney also owning ABC, a special broadcast will air on the network on January 1st at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT. But unlike the event on Disney+, the ABC special will only present highlights, not the full broadcast. 

Aside from the inductees listed above, the Rock Hall will also honor Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon with the Music Influence Award. The Musical Excellence Award will go to Thom Bell, Nicky Hopkins, and Carol Kaye. And last, the Ahmet Ertegun Award will be awarded to Lenny Waronker. 

As the curtain rises on a new class of legends, the Rock Hall once again proves that the spirit of rock and roll is alive, evolving, and unforgettable.
