Foo Fighters were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.
The band entered the Hall during the 36th annual induction ceremony on October 30, 2021, in Cleveland, Ohio. Their induction came in the first year they were eligible, reflecting the Hall's rule that an artist must generally wait 25 years after the first commercial recording's release. Foo Fighters' debut album appeared in 1995.
Dave Grohl had already been inducted as a member of Nirvana in 2014, so the 2021 ceremony gave him a second Hall of Fame induction. The Foo Fighters ceremony also honored the band's broader history, including drummer Taylor Hawkins and longtime members who helped define its live and studio sound. The year is sometimes confused with the announcement or nomination cycle, but the induction class itself was 2021.
