Chris Cornell , legendary vocalist and songwriter for bands like Soundgarden and Audioslave , will be honored on stage at the Teatro Bradesco in São Paulo. The event will take place on February 23, 2025, and will be performed by singer Gus Nascimento and his band.
As published on the 89 Radio Rock website , the unprecedented tribute in Brazil promises an authentic performance with hits such as "Black Hole Sun," "Like a Stone," "Be Yourself," and "I Am the Highway." The evening will also include some songs from Cornell's solo career, providing a complete journey through his trajectory, which left an important legacy in the history of rock.
“I’d been dreaming of something like this for a long time, but I lacked the resources to make it happen. When Live.Co brought this opportunity at the end of 2024, I felt joy and nervousness. My band and I are dedicating ourselves fully to honoring Chris’s legacy and thrilling the fans,” shared Gus Nascimento.
