History

Historical Context

After Nirvana’s 1991 album *Nevermind* sold more than 30 million copies and earned a 1992 Grammy, it forced major labels to chase indie acts, turning grunge into mainstream. That model underpins Phoebe Bridgers’ 2024 ‘Lost Weekend’ tour—backed by Dead Oceans and featuring Alex G and Anaïs—whose sold-out arenas echo the commercial path first forged by Nirvana.
