Grohl, Novoselic and Smear previously reunited on stage at the end of the Foo Fighters set at the Cal Jam festival in October 2018 to perform six songs. At that time they were assisted by John McAuley (Deer Tick) and Joan Jett in the vocal line while playing Serve The Servants, Scentless Apprentice, In Bloom, Breed, Smells Like Teen Spirit, and All Apologies.
Prior to Cal Jam, Jett last performed with Nirvana during the inauguration of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2014. At that time, Nirvana performed 19 songs in which Lorde, Kim Gordon, and St. Vincent also participated.
In 2017, Grohl looked back on Nirvana's reunion at Rock Hall saying: "I got together with my old band mates, Krist and Pat, and guests including Joan Jett and Lorde, and we played the songs again. Sounds like it. like that, of course, with one thing missing. We haven't played Nirvana songs since Kurt (Cobain) died. Can we do it again? I don't know. "
