Rock Hall Ceremony Adds Chappell, Donald Glover

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony just got a lot more crowded. Ahead of the Nov. 8 extravaganza in Los Angeles, 17 additional presenters and performers have been confirmed, including Chappell Roan, the Killers, Donald Glover, Jim Carrey, Avril Lavigne and Janelle Monáe.

The list is rounded out by Bryan Adams, En Vogue, Feist, Gina Schock, Hurby Luv Bug Azor, Aerosmith’s Joe Perry, the Revolution’s Lisa Coleman, Mick Fleetwood, Heart’s Nancy Wilson, Nathaniel Rateliff and Tedeschi Trucks Band. Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready, Alice in Chains’ Jerry Cantrell and the Pretty Reckless’ Taylor Momsen are expected to perform with Soundgarden, based on rehearsal photos from drummer Matt Cameron on Instagram.

Roan will induct Cyndi Lauper, saying yesterday on social media that the artist “has inspired me with her fashion and her hair, and of course, her makeup, her music. I actually auditioned with ‘True Colors’ for America’s Got Talent when I was 13. I didn’t make it, but the song is still incredible. I’m so excited. Thanks for having me.”

Beyond Soundgarden and Lauper, this year’s induction class is comprised of Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Outkast and the White Stripes. The event will be streamed live on Disney+. Next-day viewing will be available on Hulu, with an ABC special to follow on Jan. 1.

Among the previously announced performers and presenters are Beck, Brandi Carlile, David Letterman, Doja Cat, Elton John, Flea, Iggy Pop, J.I.D, Killer Mike, Maxwell, Missy Elliott, Olivia Rodrigo, Questlove, Raye, Sleepy Brown, Teddy Swims and Twenty One Pilots.

Outside the core inductions, Salt-N-Pepa and the late Warren Zevon will receive the Musical Influence Award, while hit-making R&B producer Thom Bell and studio musicians Nicky Hopkins and Carol Kaye will be honored with the Musical Excellence Award. The Ahmet Ertegun Award for impactful, non-performing industry professionals will be presented to former Warner Bros. Records president/DreamWorks co-founder Lenny Waronker.
