Some bands just epitomise a decade and a generation.
In the ’90s, with a tip of the cap to Britpop bands Oasis and Blur, 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G, Mariah Carey and the rest, it’s hard to discuss music in that decade without talking about Nirvana.
The three-piece became the voice of a generation and brought grunge into the mainstream with the release of Nevermind in 1991, selling over 30 million copies, becoming near overnight superstars in the process.
Sadly the bands legacy was cut short in 1994 with the untimely death of frontman Kurt Cobain who became a cultural icon.
The good news is Nirvana tribute band called, erm, Nirvana Tribute. is coming to the UAE for two shows in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
So let down your long hear, get those old Chuck Taylor shoes on and grab your wallet chain.
Catch the group live on October 24 at Lucky Voice in Dubai and then the following night in Abu Dhabi on October 25 at Porters English Pub.
The English three-piece will perform some of the group’s biggest hits like Come As You Are, Smells Like Teen Spirit and Heart Shaped Box.
The performance will be the band’s first ever concerts in the country.
We don’t know about you but love a tribute band and look forward to the show.
We’re already growing our hair in anticipation.
Ticket prices and timings are yet to be confirmed, so stay tuned.
Oct 24 Lucky Voice, Grand Millennium Dubai, Barsha Heights (800 58259).
Oct 25 Porters English Pub, Grand Millennium Abu Dhabi (02 495 3936).
