Phil Collins, Lauryn Hill, INXS, Iron Maiden, Luther Vandross and Shakira get Rock Hall nominations

The 17 nominees for the Class of 2026 include 10 first-time nominees spanning genres from rock to hip-hop, with final inductees to be announced in April.

  • On Wednesday, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame revealed 17 performer nominees for the Class of 2026, including Phil Collins, Lauryn Hill, INXS, Iron Maiden, Luther Vandross and Shakira.
  • Artists are eligible for nomination 25 years after their first commercial recording, and a nominations committee compiled the ballot to be voted on by more than 1,200 artists, historians and music industry professionals.
  • Ten nominees are appearing on the ballot for the first time, including Phil Collins, an eight-time Grammy winner, and Luther Vandross, who sold more than 25 million albums and died in 2005.
  • The 2026 inductees will be revealed in April, with a panel of voters normally choosing between six and eight performers and a ceremony set for Cleveland, Ohio in the fall.
  • The shortlist underscores the Hall's widening scope across genres and backgrounds, reflecting the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation's efforts to broaden inclusion across gender, race and style, though critics like Gene Simmons argue hip-hop artists such as Wu-Tang Clan don’t "belong".
