Calling it “the most diverse list of Inductees in the history of the organization”, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced the class of 2021 and the accompanying award winners.

Chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation said, “This diverse class of talented Inductees reflects the Rock Hall’s ongoing commitment to honor artists whose music created the sound of youth culture. It will make for an unforgettable live celebration of music in October at this year’s Induction Ceremony in Cleveland.”

Six artists have been officially inducted to the Hall of Fame this year, with seven additional honorees. An induction ceremony will be held on Sunday, October 30, 2021, at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland (home city of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame) and will be broadcast live on SiriusXM’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame channel 310. The ceremony will then air (at a later date) on HBO and streaming on HBO Max. And while that is all six months away, it’s something special to look forward to.

Tina Turner, Carole King, and Dave Grohl all become two-time inductees in 2021, adding themselves to an impressive list of artists over the years and generations.

All in all, there are 13 talented artists, who have left an impact, influence, and legacy over no less than 25 years each. Each of these artists has had a career (or careers) worth celebrating and that they can and should be proud of.

Let’s get to the lists!
