CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's website has confirmed the nominees for its Class of 2017 will be announced on Tuesday at 8 a.m.

The site has added a section for the "2017 Nominees" that says check back Tuesday at 8 a.m. for the announcement. There are no other details. However, many expect the announcement to be made first on Rock Hall partner SiriusXM's new VOLUME radio channel, which premieres on Monday.

This year's newly eligible acts include Pearl Jam (a heavy favorite), rap icon Tupac Shakur, PJ Harvey, Alanis Morissette and more. Other previous nominees expected to receive heavy consideration are Janet Jackson, Chic, The Smiths, The Cars, Nine Inch Nails, Sting, Kraftwerk, Yes and The Spinners.

Those nominated will be voted on by living members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame along with a voting group comprised of historians, journalists and critics. The inductees will be announced later this year and honored at a ceremony in New York City in April.

Cleveland.com will have full coverage of the announcement, along with an interview with Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation CEO Joel Peresman.
