The Hollywood Walk of Fame dropped its Class of 2027 announcement on Thursday, and it’s one for the history books. Thirty-one new honorees are joining Hollywood’s most iconic sidewalk, with music taking up the biggest chunk. Karol G is getting her star alongside electronic legend David Guetta, legendary hip-hop figures Grandmaster Flash and Lil Wayne, punk icons The Ramones, and rock giants Linkin Park and Smashing Pumpkins. Sia’s also in the mix. Beyond music, the class includes powerhouse actors like Idris Elba and Pedro Pascal, plus TV legends Lisa Kudrow and Jeff Probst. The diversity here is real: reggaeton, electronic, hip-hop, punk, rock, acting, and hosting all getting recognized in one announcement.
But the moments that have the internet buzzing? Elle Fanning and Dakota Fanning are making history as the first sisters to jointly receive Walk of Fame stars. These two have been working since childhood and are getting honored at the same time, which is genuinely unprecedented. Kate Hudson is also following her mother Goldie Hawn to the Walk, proving that entertainment legacies are alive and thriving. Chalamagne tha God is the sole radio representative, which speaks volumes about his cultural impact and proves that radio personalities can achieve the same legendary status as actors and musicians.
Country music fans should know that Waylon Jennings is getting a posthumous honor, keeping the legend’s legacy in the conversation more than two decades after his 2002 death. All honorees have two years from the July 2026 announcement date to schedule their actual star ceremonies, so expect to see celebrations rolling out throughout 2027 and into 2028. Which honoree are you most excited to see get their moment?
