Post Malone announces Nirvana Tribute Album Release
The talented Austin Richard Post is once again defying genres and releasing music outside of his standard sound. This time, however, it is the grunge realm in which Malone will be wading into.
2020 Nirvana Tribute Livestream
To preface the release of this vinyl, it really isn't a "new" release by any means. On April 24th of 2020 in the midst of the global lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Post Malone, blink-182s' Travis Barker, and others gathered safely and performed an assortment of Nirvana gems and hits alike in tribute to the legendary grunge band.
You can watch the full livestream below:
SETLIST AND Goal Of The Tribute Livestream
The setlist included but was not limited to songs such as Heart-Shaped Box, About A Girl, Come As You Are, On A Plain, and several others.
The goal of the livestream was to gather donations to fund the Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization. The event, which was organized by the United Nations Foundation, gathered over seven million dollars in funding with Google matching two dollars every dollar donated up to five million.

Now, the setlist will be fully available on vinyl on April 12th of this year, Record Store Day 2025. All proceeds from the vinyl sales will be donated to MusiCares' Addiction Recovery/Mental Health division.
The vinyl from all indications will be priced at $39.99, which is pretty standard for a new record.
Personally, I will be doing everything I can to get this record, which is unfortunately already sold out months in advance.
