By Melissa Ruggieri, USA Today | Bring on the divas. The ballot of 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees is topped by female icons – most as first-time candidates – along with classic rock superstars, hip-hop pioneers, and iconic funk and soul musicians.
The inductees will be announced in late April, with the ceremony returning to Cleveland this fall and again streaming live on Disney+.
To be eligible for a nomination, the artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years before the year of nomination.
