This tribute act has meticulously recreated Nirvana’s iconic live performances, ensuring fans are treated to a genuine taste of grunge nostalgia.

Attendees can look forward to an enthusiastic atmosphere reminiscent of Nirvana’s heyday, offering a nostalgic journey back in time for both long-time devotees and newer fans alike.
Nirvana UK are a Touring Nirvana tribute band based in the West Midlands and are formed of die hard Nirvana fans who love nothing more than recreating Nirvana's live music and look for other fans. The band strive to be as close to the real deal as possible, including the same clothes, instruments, effect boxes, drums and pre-amps that the band used, to ensure they recreate the distinctive Nirvana sound.
The band is made up of: Jez (Kurt Cobain), Dan (Krist Novoselic), Jon (Dave Grohl)
Guests can include: Byron (Pat Smear), Emily (Lori Goldstein)
Nirvana UK's sets include the whole spectrum of Nirvana's live and studio catalogue..... not to mention the standard Nirvana style anarchy and abuse of gear at the conclusion of each show.
So if you like Nirvana, or just want to relive your youth, come as you are and check them out.... you wont be disappointed.
