Soundgarden are one of the seminal bands to evolve out of the grunge scene that came out of Seattle in the early 90s. Their most successful album came in 1994 with Superunknown. The album featured Grammy Award-winning singles Black Hole Sun and Spoonman. In 1997, the band broke up due to an internal rift over the creative direction.
Soundgarden will be supported by LA quintet, Mariachi El Bronx.
