The legendary Mitch Michaels enters the Hall of Fame in the Radio Personality category and Chicago's Q101 in the Radio Station category.
The induction ceremony will include live performances by both Head East and Enuff Z’Nuff along with other selected acts from the classes of 2024 and 2025. If you are planning on attending this event on September 14th you may want to buy your tickets soon. Since the Class of 2024 induction ceremony was rescheduled and is being combined with the Class of 2025 induction ceremony, tickets previously sold for the originally scheduled Class of 2024 ceremony are being honored on September 14th.
