Nirvana Members Reunite At FireAid Benefit Concert

FireAid benefit concerts supporting Los Angeles wildfire relief efforts were held at the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum last night. An all-star lineup of musicians came together to perform at the two L.A. area venues, with an unannounced reunion of the surviving members of Nirvana among the evening’s many highlights.

The participation of the surviving members of Nirvana – drummer Dave Grohl, bassist Krist Novoselic and guitarist Pat Smear – was not part of the pre-show lineup announcement. As they have before, standing in for late frontman Kurt Cobain at The Forum included St. Vincent, Kim Gordon and Joan Jett.

St. Vincent led a performance of “Breed,” followed by Gordon taking lead on “School” and Jett fronting “Territorial Pissings.” Grohl’s daughter Violet Grohl also participated in the reunion, singing lead on “All Apologies” with Gordon playing guitar.

Along with Nirvana’s reunion, The Forum stage was filled throughout the night by Joni Mitchell, Alanis Morissette, No Doubt, P!NK, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Nicks, John Mayer, Anderson .Paak with Sheila E. & Dr. Dre and Dawes with Graham Nash & Stephen Stills. Additionally, John Fogerty and Slash joined The Black Crowes, while Billie Eilish – who also appeared at Intuit Dome – performed with Green Day.

Lady Gaga, , Gracie Abrams, Jelly Roll, Katy Perry, Lil Baby, Olivia Rodrigo, Peso Pluma, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Sting and Tate McRae were among the additional Intuit Dome performers.
