Soundgarden helped open up the 2026 Seahawks’ season Wednesday night against the New England Patriots.
The band’s surviving members — guitarist Kim Thayil, drummer Matt Cameron and bassist Ben Shepherd — reunited at Lumen Field in Seattle for the halftime show — with Taylor Momsen from The Pretty Reckless handling vocals in place of the late Chris Cornell.
The group played a two-song medley featuring Soundgarden staples ‘Outshined’ and ‘Spoonman’ with Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready joining them onstage.
McCready also performed a Jimi Hendrix-inspired version of the national anthem before the game.
