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 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.
