Mick Fleetwood & Joe Perry Announced as Presenters at Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025

Fleetwood Mac’s Mick Fleetwood and Aerosmith’s Joe Perry are among the newest additions to the lineup for the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, happening November 8 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The Hall announced 19 fresh names this week, adding even more star power to what’s already shaping up to be a blockbuster night.

Other artists joining the bill include Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, Heart’s Nancy Wilson, The Killers, Bryan Adams, Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready, Gina Schock of The Go-Go’s, and the Tedeschi Trucks Band.

Fleetwood will take the stage to induct classic rock heavyweights Bad Company — a detail confirmed by drummer Simon Kirke in a recent interview. Meanwhile, pop legend Cyndi Lauper will reportedly be inducted by breakout artist Chappell Roan, who’s also expected to perform.

Legends, Tributes, and a Few Surprises

The 40th Rock Hall ceremony promises a lineup worthy of its milestone year. Elton John and Iggy Pop were among the first names announced, while David Letterman will return to the stage to induct his late friend Warren Zevon, who’s being honored with this year’s Musical Influence Award.

The guest list reads like a cross-generational who’s who of modern and classic rock. Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beck, Missy Elliott, Questlove, Brandi Carlile, and Olivia Rodrigo are all confirmed to appear. The event will stream live on Disney+ at 8 p.m. EST, followed by on-demand viewing. ABC will air a primetime special on January 1, with Hulu streaming the performances the following day.

Performances, Reunions, and Unforgettable Moments

After speculation about Paul Rodgers’ health, Simon Kirke revealed that the Bad Company frontman is ready to return to the stage — the pair plan to perform two songs together at the ceremony. Soundgarden’s surviving members are also set to reunite, with former bassist Hiro Yamamoto recently posting a photo alongside Ben Shepherd, Kim Thayil, and Matt Cameron, signaling a long-awaited moment for fans.

Cameron, meanwhile, has been teasing rehearsals on social media, sharing glimpses of guests like Jerry Cantrell and Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless visiting the studio.

Tributes are also expected for the late Joe Cocker, though the final lineup for that performance is still under wraps. The Tedeschi Trucks Band — who famously paid homage to Cocker with a full live recreation of Mad Dogs & Englishmen — are likely contenders. Nathaniel Rateliff and Bryan Adams, both longtime admirers (and in Adams’ case, collaborators), are also rumored to take part.

Lauper is expected to hit the stage as well. While rock pioneers Carol Kaye and Chubby Checker have confirmed they won’t attend, organizers may still include special nods to their influence during the night’s performances.

As Rock Hall chairman John Sykes summed it up in a recent statement:

“Each year, the induction ceremony brings together the most influential artists of today to honor the legends who shaped their sound and inspired their journeys.”

With so many eras of rock, pop, and soul colliding under one roof, this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony looks less like an awards show and more like a once-in-a-lifetime jam session — a celebration of the artists who built rock’s past and the ones carrying its torch into the future.
