The two innovative and influential U.K. bands are making it into the Hall of Fame after decades of rejection

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame made great choices for the class of '26, but we're not sure if Oasis, Iron Maiden, or New Order will care or even show

The 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class includes Phil Collins, Oasis, Wu-Tang Clan, Iron Maiden, Billy Idol, and Joy Division/New Order

Hook – one of Rolling Stone‘s 50 Greatest Bassists – is meticulous about re-creating the music of Joy Division and New Order live, performing the treasured catalogue with the passion and energy they deserve

Boasting a back catalogue brimming with hits, New Order have no shortage of classics to thrill crowds with in a live setting

“There'll be a couple of surprises with songs that we've not played before. So we're quite excited about that.”

The nominees for the 2025 Hall of Fame class include Mariah Carey, Phish, Billy Idol, Oasis, OutKast, White Stripes, Cyndi Lauper, and Black Crowes

New Order are returning to Australia next year for their first tour here since 2020

"It’s an honour to be coming back to perform in one of our favourite places," the band said about their upcoming return
