The Seattle four piece – Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd, Matt Cameron – were one of the grunge stars of the Nineties, their 1994 Superunknown album winning them chart success and international stardom. They were to disband one record and three years later though, with a hiatus that saw Cornell embark on a solo career, before joining supergroup Audioslave.
They returned earlier this year to play the Hard Rock Calling show in Hyde Park, and are back here with a headline solo show. Black Hole Sun, Spoonman, The Day I Tried To Live, Pretty Noose – they’re set to deliver the hits as well as new cuts from their sixth album, King Animal which is due out on Nov 12th.
