HOW YOU CAN VOTE FOR THIS YEAR’S ROCK HALL NOMINEES
Want to get in on the rock ‘n’ roll battle? Cast a vote for your favorite 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction nominees HERE. You can vote for seven of the 14 once per day now through April 21.
“The top seven artists selected by the public will comprise a ‘fans’ ballot’ that will be tallied along with the other ballots to determine the 2025 Inductees,” according to the Rock Hall.
Those selected for induction will be announced in late April, while the 2025 ceremony will be held this fall in Los Angeles on a yet-to-be-determined date.
The Rock Hall says artists or bands become eligible for nomination 25 years after releasing their first commercial recording. Nominee ballots are then distributed to an international voting panel composed of more than 1,200 artists, historians and music industry professionals who determine the class of 2025.
“The selection criteria include an artist’s impact on music culture, influence on other musicians that have followed, as well as the scope and longevity of their career and body of work,” according to the Rock Hall.
Since the Rock Hall first launched the annual fan vote in 2013, there have been more than 50 million votes submitted.
