Chappell Roan and The Killers will join the star-studded roster of presenters and performers at the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The announcement comes as the event organisers confirmed a diverse lineup of music-industry heavyweights spanning multiple genres and generations.

The Killers, known for hits like “Mr. Brightside” and “When You Were Young,” join a class of inductees that includes longtime rock icons and newer cultural forces. Meanwhile, Chappell Roan marks one of the younger names in the list, bringing her pop-forward, theatrical style to a ceremony traditionally dominated by legacy acts.

According to Variety’s coverage, the two artists were added to the roster after initial listings for presenters and performers were revealed earlier this month. Their inclusion reflects the Hall’s shift toward blending legacy artists with contemporary voices. Previous announcements for the event also highlighted acts such as Olivia Rodrigo, Doja Cat and Brandi Carlile.

The ceremony will honour the inductees with performances and tributes, and the presence of Chappell Roan and The Killers suggests that the programming will include both new and old guard. While the full schedule and which songs each will perform have not been confirmed, industry insiders expect The Killers to take part in a retrospective set and Chappell Roan to perform one of her more recent singles.

Flashpoints for the ceremony include whether inductees will collaborate on-stage with the presenters, as has become a hallmark of recent years. The event continues to operate not only as a celebration of past achievements but also as a live billboard of current musical relevance.

The inclusion of both The Killers and Chappell Roan underscores the Hall’s increasingly broad definition of rock influence—bridging guitar-driven stadium rock, indie pop performance art, and mainstream crossover success. Fans and industry watchers will be paying close attention to the performances on the night in hopes of memorable musical moments.
