White Stripes: Home

The White Stripes were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as performers in 2025.

White Stripes

The White Stripes reimagined minimalist garage and punk rock for a new generation and brought blues into the twenty-first century.

The band stripped down rock & roll to its essentials and delivered the uninhibited freedom that only the best music can offer. They proved that a band could create massive, genre-defining sound with only two people, inspiring a wave of rock & roll revivalists and making a lasting mark on popular music.
