"The 2026 class of inductees represents a broad array of styles and genres, including hip-hop, R&B, Britpop, heavy metal and post-punk, yet contains only two women."
"Three of the new members are joining the hall after being nominated for the first time: Vandross, Wu-Tang Clan, and Collins, who is getting in as a solo act."
"Artists nominated for the 2026 class who didn't make the cut include Mariah Carey, Shakira, Lauryn Hill, and the late Jeff Buckley."
The 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees include Phil Collins, Luther Vandross, Oasis, and Wu-Tang Clan, among others. The ceremony will take place on November 14 at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. This year's class features a diverse range of genres but includes only two women, raising concerns about gender representation. Notably, Vandross, Wu-Tang Clan, and Collins are being inducted for the first time. Several artists, including Mariah Carey and Shakira, were nominated but did not make the final cut.
