Eight Burning Questions About the Rock Hall’s 2026 Class

Rolling Stone previews the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s 2026 class — a strong yet controversial slate that includes Oasis, Wu-Tang Clan, Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Sade, Luther Vandross, and Joy Division/New Order — and flags eight lingering questions: will Oasis show up amid their feud and the Gallagher mystique; why did the Hall exclude founding Oasis bassist Guigsy; how will Iron Maiden handle their induction after years of skepticism; could Joy Division/New Order stage a one-night truce or reunion; will Phil Collins perform; what about Sade; can the ceremony mend long-running feuds like Oasis vs. Collins; and what this signals about the Hall’s approach to 90s acts and potential missteps in member eligibility.
