Remembering Nirvana’s intimate Glasgow gig that happened 31 years ago

Glasgow only welcomed Nirvana one time, back in the early ‘90s to a sold out crowd at the University of Glasgow’s Queen Margaret Union (QMU).

Kurt Cobain, who took his own life in 1994, hit the stage with Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl in November of 1991. The trio, who were at the height of their fame, would never return to Glasgow.

With most big names these days heading to the Hydro, Armadillo or SECC - it may come as a surprise that the band chose to head to QMU. Having released two of their three albums, Nirvana played huge hits like Smells Like Teen Spirit, Lithium and Come As You Are.
