Numerous music luminaries will be honored when the latest group of inductees for the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame formally join it later in October. The Hall announced last week a select list of performers and presenters for the gala event on Oct. 19. They span the gamut for popular music, with those slated to either perform or present including Busta Rhymes, Dr. Dre, Demi Lovato, Dua Lipa, Ella Mai, James Taylor, Jelly Roll, Julia Roberts, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Lucky Daye, Mac McAnally, Method Man, Roger Daltrey, Sammy Hagar, Slash and The Roots.
The ceremony will be held at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
This year’s new class is equally diverse with Mary J. Blige, Cher, Dave Matthews Band,
Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & the Gang, Ozzy Osbourne and A Tribe Called Quest in the performers category. In the musical influence category, Alexis Korner, John Mayall and “Big Mama” Thornton will be inducted; all three pioneers are deceased, with Mayall dying at the age of 90 this July, just three months after his induction was announced.
Jimmy Buffett, MC5, Dionne Warwick and Norman Whitfield will also enter the Rock Hall in the musical excellence category. Suzanne de Passe will be given the Ahmet Ertegun Award.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s 2024 induction ceremony will livestream on Disney+ on Oct. 19 at 6 p.m. central. ABC will air a primetime special featuring the evening’s biggest moments on Jan. 1, 2025, at 7 p.m. central, which will be available on Disney+ and Hulu on Jan. 2.
