Nirvana Reunion at Intuit Dome Delivers Emotional Tribute with St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, and Joan Jett
At the Intuit Dome, fans witnessed an unprecedented tribute to Nirvana, featuring the surviving members Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Pat Smear performing iconic songs with guest vocalists.
St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, and Joan Jett filled the void left by Kurt Cobain, each channeling his raw energy while adding their unique vocal styles. St. Vincent's intense performance of "Breed" showcased her exceptional ferocity.
For the finale, Grohl's daughter, Violet, took the stage for a poignant rendition of "All Apologies." The song closed the band's final studio album "In Utero," adding an emotional depth to the tribute.
The set reflected a family reunion, as Sonic Youth played a pivotal role in Nirvana's rise. For longtime fans, seeing Novoselic, Grohl, and Smear perform again evoked deep emotions.
This performance echoed the band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, where the surviving members and similar guest vocalists delivered a powerful tribute. After the official ceremony, the band and guests continued the celebration with an extended set featuring more Nirvana classics.
