Oasis, Phil Collins among Brits set for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction

Oasis and Phil Collins are among the Brits to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, alongside heavy metal band Iron Maiden.

A total of six British entries will be honoured this year, including Sade, rocker Billy Idol and Manchester icons Joy Division and New Order, who share a single nomination.

The 2026 honourees were announced by Ryan Seacrest during an episode of American Idol on Tuesday.

Collins’ 2026 induction will be his second, having previously been honoured as a member of Genesis in 2010.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame chairman John Sykes said: “Induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is music’s highest honour.

“We look forward to celebrating these remarkable artists at this year’s ceremony – it’s going to be an unforgettable night.”

Among the honourees this year are Wu-Tang Clan, Queen Latifah, Luther Vandross and Latin superstar Celia Cruz.

British representation was more limited in 2025, with Bad Company and Joe Cocker among the few UK acts honoured.

Artists are eligible for inclusion in the hall 25 years after releasing their first commercial recording.

Joy Division, Oasis and Billy Idol were among last year’s nominees who failed to make the cut.

The 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place in Los Angeles in November, before debuting on Disney+ in December.

More than 1,200 artists, historians and music industry professionals vote to decide the nominees each year.
