The trio of music icons – Kenny Chesney, Tony Brown and June Carter Cash – were named Tuesday as the 2025 class to the Country Music Hall of Fame. They will be formally inducted later this year during the Hall’s annual Medallion Ceremony, nearly 65 years after the inaugural class of Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams and Fred Rose.

Kenny Chesney, June Carter Cash, and producer-musician Tony Brown are the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame. The Nashville institution announced the 2025 inductees during a press conference Tuesday morning in the Hall’s rotunda, where the plaques honoring the new class will be installed later this year.
