Nine out of 19 of the nominees are on the ballot for the first time, including: Eurythmics, Dire

Ballots will be sent to an international voting body of more than 900 artists, historians and
members of the music industry. Factors such as an artist’s musical influence on other
artists, length and depth of career and the body of work, innovation and superiority in style
and technique are taken into consideration.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will again offer fans the opportunity to officially participate in
the induction selection process. Beginning Oct. 5 and continuing through 11:59 p.m. EST on
Dec. 5, 2017, fans can visit rockhall.com/vote to cast votes for who they believe to be most
deserving of induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The top five artists, as selected by
the public, will comprise a “fans’ ballot” that will be tallied along with the other ballots to
choose the 2018 inductees. Fans will need to login with a Facebook account or email to
vote. Voting is capped at one ballot per day.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2018 Inductees will be announced in December 2017. HBO
will once again broadcast the ceremony. Broadcast details will be announced later.
SiriusXM will also carry a radio broadcast of the ceremony in April and carry special broadcasts
throughout the year devoted to the Rock Hall’s Inductees—past and present— on Rock & Roll
Hall of Fame Radio (Ch. 310).
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2018 Inductions, presented by Klipsch Audio, will be held at

day to the Museum and more. Details and ticket on-sale information will also be announced
