Wu-Tang Clan will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the Performer category on Nov 14, 2026, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, the Hall said in its official inductee announcement. The ceremony will be taped that night and will debut on ABC on Dec 8, 2026, from 8 to 11 p.m. ET/PT, then stream on Disney+ and Hulu beginning Dec 9, according to a Disney+ explainer revised Nov 6, 2026.

The Hall's Wu-Tang Clan inductee page lists the inductees as Cappadonna, Ghostface Killah, GZA, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, Method Man, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Raekwon, RZA and U-God. Method Man, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah also appear on Conway the Machine's forthcoming album OTIS, due Nov 20, 2026.

The same Hall announcement names Wu-Tang Clan, Phil Collins and Luther Vandross as first-time nominees in the Performer category.

Early Influence honorees

MC Lyte and Queen Latifah will be honored in the Early Influence category at the same ceremony, the Hall's announcement says. The other Early Influence honorees named there are Celia Cruz, Fela Kuti and Gram Parsons.

What the Class of 2026 exhibit includes

The Hall is also staging a Class of 2026 exhibit in Cleveland. The official exhibit page names, among other artifacts, a custom Dior jacket worn by Luther Vandross on his 1991-92 Power of Love Tour, the Honda Fireblade featured in Queen Latifah's 1993 "U.N.I.T.Y." video, and the Wu-Tang Forever Time Capsule. The page says the group unveiled the time capsule so VIP fans at each 2025 tour stop could add to it.

The Hall's announcement does not print a start time for the Nov 14 taping. In 2027, the induction ceremony is set to return to Cleveland.
