Soundgarden

Seattle‑rooted grunge pioneers Soundgarden forged a dark, heavy sound in the early ’90s, blending distorted guitars, brooding bass lines, and Chris Cornell’s soaring vocals into anthems that defined the era. The band earned a reputation for intense, high‑energy concerts, delivering powerful riffs and vocal theatrics that made their live shows legendary, while long hiatuses followed Cornell’s death in 2017. In 2026 the group announced a reunion tour with confirmed dates in Germany, featuring the classic lineup of Matt Cameron, Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd and original bassist Hiro Yamamoto, marking their first full‑scale return to the stage since the 2025 Hall of Fame performance.
