Shakira and Phil Collins could be coming to the Hall of Fame - Shakira, Phil Collins and Wu-Tang Clan lead 2025 Rock Hall nominees
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has revealed its 2025 nominees, featuring a mix of legendary and influential artists. Among the 17 acts in contention are Shakira, Phil Collins, and the Wu-Tang Clan. To qualify, each artist's first watch must date back at least 25 years.
This year's shortlist spans multiple genres and eras. Alongside Shakira and Collins, nominees include Luther Vandross, Jeff Buckley, Lauryn Hill, New Edition, Pink, and INXS. Collins previously entered the Hall of Fame as part of Genesis, but this nomination recognizes his solo career.
Last year saw seven acts inducted, including Bad Company, The White Stripes, Soundgarden, and OutKast. The selection process remains competitive, with only a handful of nominees chosen annually. The 2025 inductees will be announced in April after a vote by industry professionals and fans.
The final decision will determine which artists join the ranks of music's most celebrated figures. The induction ceremony will honour those whose work has left a lasting mark on the industry. Eligible acts must have released their first recording by 1999 or earlier.
