Iron Maiden is honored at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2026 induction ceremony as St. Vincent joins Metallica members and other featured performers to cover Iron Maiden’s 1983 song “The Trooper.” The performance is presented as a collaborative tribute highlighting Iron Maiden’s influence on heavy metal.
The lineup includes prominent musicians associated with multiple rock and metal acts. Outlets describe the all-star group as a supergroup that brings together members of Metallica and other bands, alongside a surprise contribution from Jack Black. Coverage focuses on the live cover performance and the names of the artists involved rather than wider discussion of the ceremony.
While all sources agree on the core event—an “Iron Maiden” tribute with St. Vincent performing “The Trooper” at the 2026 Rock Hall induction—each outlet emphasizes slightly different details in its framing. Differences are mainly in how they list the lineup and how prominently they foreground the guest appearances.
