The induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is one of the biggest honors in the music industry, reserved for the most influential recording artists. The list of this year’s inductees is as impressive as it gets, and it includes Jay-Z, Tina Turner, and Foo Fighters.
In addition to these three A-list acts, The Go-Go’s, Carole King, and Todd Rundgren are also a part of the class of 2021 in the Performers category. They were eligible for the induction this year because their first commercial recording was released at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination.
This year’s list of inductees is quite historic because three of them—Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, Tina Turner, and Carole King—entered the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for the second time. Chairman John Sykes also noted it’s a true rarity that three of the six inductees are women.
“This is our most diverse class in the history of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It really represents the Hall’s ongoing commitment to honor the artists that have created not only rock & roll, but the sound of youth culture,” said Sykes in a statement.
The induction ceremony is expected to take place on October 30th at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse arena in Cleveland, Ohio.
