How you can cast a ballot in the Rock Hall fan vote
Are your favorites not ranking high enough? You can vote once per day for up to seven nominees through April 26.
"The top five artists selected by the public will comprise a fans’ ballot that will be tallied along with the other ballots to determine the 2024 inductees," according to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Winning the fan vote, however, does not guarantee induction. Despite taking the top spot in 2020, Dave Matthews Band was ultimately not selected that year.
Those selected for induction will be announced in late April.
For the first time since 2021, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony returns to Cleveland this fall. The date and venue have not yet been announced. Can't attend in person? The event will be streamed live on Disney+.
The induction process
To be eligible for nomination, an individual artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination.
"An artist’s musical impact and influence on other artists, length and depth of career and body of work as well as innovation and superiority in style and technique are taken into consideration," according to Rock Hall officials.
An international body of more than 1,000 artists, historians and members of the music industry receive ballots each year to determine the inductees.
The class of 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees will be revealed in late April.
