Oasis will skip the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in Los Angeles on 14 November

Oasis stay away from the ceremony

Oasis will not attend the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday, 14 November, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Rolling Stone first reported the absence, and the Independent reported that the brothers will neither collect the award nor perform. Liam Gallagher replied to a fan on X that the trip was too far for a single evening and that he had things to do over Christmas. Noel Gallagher had already booked his first solo show since the 2025 reunion, a set at the EFG London Jazz Festival on the same night, at the Royal Festival Hall in London.

Phil Collins and the 2026 class

Phil Collins will be inducted as a solo artist, with his first solo nomination, as he has been eligible since 2006. He was previously inducted in 2010 as a member of Genesis. Il Fatto Quotidiano reports that Collins will attend but cannot perform, because health problems have kept him away from the stage since 2022. La Repubblica reports that Collins joked he would be seated next to the Oasis, a reference to years of verbal attacks from the Gallagher brothers. Oasis, whose second nomination came after they became eligible in 2019, join Billy Idol, Sade, Joy Division/New Order, Wu-Tang Clan, Iron Maiden and the late Luther Vandross in the performer category, according to Il Fatto Quotidiano.

Who will be in the room

Vulture reports that Peter Hook is likely to be the only New Order member present. Gillian Gilbert and Stephen Morris are staying in England, as Gilbert continues her cancer treatment, and Bernard Sumner has not yet commented on the honour. Iron Maiden will also be absent, because the band is on tour in Australia, according to Vulture. Il Messaggero reports that Bruce Dickinson, the band's frontman, has long been critical of the institution. Vulture adds that Sade has not appeared in public for years, and that the Rock Hall usually publishes its list of performers and speakers in the weeks before the ceremony but had not done so for the 2026 class.

Format and voting

More than 1,200 people from the music industry and music history took part in the vote, and the class was announced in April 2026, according to 20minutes. The ceremony rotates between Cleveland, New York and Los Angeles, and this year is the second in a row at the Peacock Theater, Il Fatto Quotidiano reports. After two years of live streaming, the event returns to the traditional model, with an edited version to be broadcast in December on ABC and Disney+. The Rock Hall has kept details of the evening under wraps. Oasis members Paul Arthurs, Gem Archer, Andy Bell, Paul McGuigan, Tony McCarroll and Alan White are also being inducted, according to 20minutes, but no article says whether any of them will travel to Los Angeles.
