Watch Nirvana Reunite with St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, Joan Jett, and Violet Grohl At the Fire Aid Benefit


Last night was night one of the Fire Aid Benefit to raise money for victims of the recent devastating California Wildfires. Among the star-studded performers at the arena was the surviving members of Nirvana, performing a mini-set of mostly deep cuts and hits. Filling in on guest vocals and guitars were St. Vincent, Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Joan Jett, and Violet Grohl. This was also Dave Grohl’s first performance and official public appearance since his family issues, last year. Nirvana has reunited a few times over the years since the death of Kurt Cobain, including with Joan Jett twice for their Rock N Roll Hall of Fame induction.

Austin Psych Fest 2025 brings another slate of indie rock icons, experimental rock and tripped-out sounds – from shoegaze to psychedelic rock and cumbia – to the big South Austin backyard at The Far Out LoungeThe event has always taken an expansive interpretation of psychedelia, exploring the outer edges of the musical spectrum that continue to be informed and inspired by 1960s sonic experimentation, and a penchant for loud guitars and plenty of reverb. This year’s lineup is no different. Friday night is topped off with post-rock titans EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY, and GODSPEED! YOU BLACK EMPEROR, two artists who have conjured up wildly emotive and ethereal music, without any words – a testament to the sheer power of music.

Saturday night brings electronic psych explorers DARKSIDE, indie icon KIM GORDON fresh off her recent Grammy nomination, the cosmic grooves of electro rock outfit STRFKR, art rock auteur GEORDIE GREEP plus WOMBO, SASAMI and more on Day Two.
