It’s the first of two induction ceremonies in 2023 as part of Canada’s Walk of Fame’s 25th anniversary celebrations that will be followed by the annual induction ceremony on Dec. 2 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and later broadcast on CTV.

“These trailblazing musicians have had an extraordinary impact on our Canadian rock landscape,” Jeffrey Latimer, CEO of Canada’s Walk of Fame, said in a statement. “Their longevity, many of whom still tour and sell out venues, is inspiring, and we are proud to welcome them each to Canada’s Walk of Fame.”

All 13 rock legends will be in attendance on Sept. 28 with live performances of their hits, special guests, a reunion of Canadian DJ legends, and more.

Led by award-winning musical director Lou Pomanti, presenters, performers and special guests will be announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets for Canada’s Rock of Fame go on sale Friday, July 14 at 10 a.m. ET at Ticketmaster.

The list of rockers join previously announced 2023 inductees including Supreme Court Justice Rosalie Silberman Abella, Degrassi, Connor McDavid, Rick Mercer and Dr. Brenda Milner.
