Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2024 Inductees to Be Announced Live on American Idol

Mark your calendars, music fans—American Idol is turning up the volume on Sunday, April 27. In a special twist, the next class of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees will be revealed live during the show, adding some rock ‘n’ roll history to the pop-fueled competition.

The Class of 2024 nominees bring a powerhouse mix of genres and generations, featuring legendary names like Mariah Carey, Outkast, Oasis, Cyndi Lauper, Phish, and Soundgarden. Also on the ballot are Billy Idol, Joy Division/New Order, the White Stripes, Joe Cocker, Bad Company, the Black Crowes, Chubby Checker, and Maná—offering a diverse lineup that highlights rock’s many branches and cultural impacts.

To be eligible, each nominee must have released their first single or album in 2000 or earlier. That means this year marks the first time acts like the White Stripes, Outkast, and Mariah Carey qualify—and eight of the 14 nominees are first-timers on the ballot.

The final list of inductees will head to the stage in Los Angeles this fall for the annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, typically held in October or November. Expect a star-studded night of performances, tributes, and nostalgic moments.

With such an iconic and eclectic mix of nominees, the 2024 class is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about in recent years. Whether you’re team Mariah or rooting for rock pioneers like Joy Division and Joe Cocker, Sunday’s reveal on American Idol is not to be missed.
