THE former Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's favourite band will be performing in north Cumbria.
The Vaselines are set to perform at The Brickyard in Carlisle on Thursday, October 10.
Tickets are now on sale for the show which will kick off at 7pm.
Cobain was a huge fan of The Vaselines, and their influence can be heard in Nirvana's music.
He famously covered some of the band's songs which were heard on the band's third album.
In a post on social media, The Brickyard wrote: "The Vaselines were formed in Glasgow in 1987 by singers/guitarists Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee, soon signing to Pastels frontman Stephen Pastel's newly formed 53rd & 3rd label.
"Nirvana's Kurt Cobain regularly cited the Vaseline’s influence in interviews with the music press and Nirvana would go on to cover the Vaselines' ‘Molly's Lips’ and ‘Son of a Gun’ (both later compiled on their Incesticide collection) as well as perform ‘Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam’ on their legendary MTV Unplugged appearance."
