The surviving members of Nirvana‘s final lineup reunited onstage tonight, September 27th, to accept the ‘Video Vanguard Award‘ at the 2026 MTV ‘VMAs‘. The diamond-certified grunge legends’ drummer Dave Grohl, bassist Krist Novoselic and guitarist Pat Smear were all present to accept the award. Below you can watch the band acceptance speech, with their win making the first time a band had landed that award since 2003. It had been claimed annually by individual artists since then.
Tonight’s celebration of the aforementioned Rock & Roll Hall Of Famers was a rare display of acknowledgement for rock at the awards show, with VMAs having dumped the ‘Best Rock’ category this year.
