The White Stripes, the Detroit-based indie rock duo featuring guitarist Jack White and drummer Meg White, are set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2025. The official induction ceremony will be held on November 8, 2025, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and will be available for streaming on Disney+.
Formed in 1997, The White Stripes gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s with their raw, blues-influenced garage rock sound. Despite disbanding in 2011 after their last performance in 2009, their impact on music remains significant. Meg White's minimalist drumming style and Jack White's guitar work defined their unique sound.
While a reunion performance is unlikely, the induction marks a significant recognition of the band's contribution to rock and roll. Jack White has continued his music career as a solo artist, recently nominated for a Grammy for his album 'No Name' and touring through May 2025. Meg White, known for her reclusive nature, has remained largely out of the public eye.
