Phil Collins, Iron Maiden and Oasis among Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees

Washington: Phil Collins, Iron Maiden and Oasis are among this year’s inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with the latest class also including several other major names from across decades of popular music.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced the new inductees for 2025, adding artists whose work spans rock, pop, hip-hop and country. The list includes Phil Collins, Iron Maiden and Oasis, alongside other performers selected for induction this year.

The annual honour recognises artists and music figures for their contribution to the industry and their influence on popular culture. This year’s selections bring together acts known for chart success, long-running fan followings and a lasting impact on music.

Range of artists recognised

The new class reflects a broad mix of genres and eras. Phil Collins, known both for his solo career and his work with Genesis, joins the list of artists being recognised. Iron Maiden, one of heavy metal’s most prominent bands, and Oasis, the Britpop group whose music helped define an era in British rock, are also among those chosen.

The Hall of Fame’s annual induction process has often drawn attention for which artists are included and which are left waiting. This year’s announcement again highlights performers whose names have long featured in discussions around eligibility and recognition.

The induction is considered one of the music industry’s most visible honours, marking both commercial achievement and cultural significance. Artists selected for the Hall of Fame are typically recognised for a body of work that has shaped audiences and influenced later musicians.

Annual Hall of Fame announcement

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame makes its selections each year from a pool of nominees, with the final class reflecting the outcome of that process. The latest announcement places Phil Collins, Iron Maiden and Oasis among the headline names in this year’s group of inductees.

The Hall of Fame has, over the years, expanded beyond traditional rock music to include artists from a wider range of styles. That broader approach is reflected again in the 2025 class, which brings together performers from different musical traditions under the same banner.

The induction of artists such as Collins, Iron Maiden and Oasis is likely to draw strong interest from fans, given the long-standing popularity of their music and their place in the history of modern popular music. The announcement adds another chapter to the Hall of Fame’s annual recognition of artists whose work has left a mark on the global music landscape.

The latest class underlines the Hall of Fame’s continued effort to recognise influential performers from across the music world, celebrating careers that have resonated with audiences over many years.
