Nirvana UK

Nirvana UK is a music act in the pop, rock and indie field, presenting the songs of the Seattle band Nirvana at O2 Academy2 Birmingham. The act is not the original group.

Nirvana were an American rock band formed in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1987, with Kurt Cobain on vocals and guitar, Krist Novoselic on bass and Dave Grohl on drums. Their 1991 album Nevermind brought the grunge sound of the Pacific Northwest to a wide audience, and its single Smells Like Teen Spirit is their best-known song. Earlier releases such as Bleach, from 1989, also form part of the catalogue that fans of the group know well.

Nirvana UK is a tribute act devoted to that repertoire and is not the original Seattle band. Its music falls within pop, rock and indie, and the night centres on the songs of Nirvana performed live by the act.

O2 Academy2 Birmingham is a venue in the city that hosts concerts and shows. The evening suits listeners who want to hear the music of Nirvana in a live setting, particularly those who follow the 1990s rock catalogue the band left behind.
