The eight artists chosen as the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees were just announced!

The news was revealed during the latest episode of American Idol with host Ryan Seacrest and judge Lionel Richie (a 2022 inductee into the Hall of Fame) given the honors of announcing the lineup.

To be eligible, an individual artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination. 4 out of the 8 Inductees in the Performer category were on the ballot for the first time.

The honorees will officially be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday, October 19 at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio. The ceremony will stream live on Disney+ with a special airing on ABC at a later date.

15 artists were nominated for the eight inductee slots, so seven of them unfortunately didn’t make the cut.

The segment started with ATCQ performing their songs “Movin Backwards,” “We the People,” and more. People marched around the arena throughout the performance to represent the groups of people being blocked from coming into the country by Trump’s travel ban.

“I’m not digging the political climate right now,” Busta said while joining in for the performance. “I just wanna thank President Agent Orange for perpetuating all of the evil that you been perpetuating throughout these United States.”

“I want to thank President Agent Orange for the unsuccessful attempt at the Muslim ban,” he added. Watch a clip below.
