This September, BBC Music will celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of the most influential albums of all time — Nirvana’s second studio album, Nevermind — with a range of programming across BBC TV, radio, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds

There’s a lot of material on it’s way, and all we have space for is a swift tour of the many things on offer. The BBC’s own list of highlights includes:

When Nirvana Came to Britain – a new documentary for BBC Two, featuring contributions from former members, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic

6 Music’s Deep Dive into Nevermind, which sees BBC Radio 6 Music celebrate music of the album, playing tracks from it throughout the day

Teen Spirit: Nevermind at 30, a new Radio 4 documentary, hosted by author Doug Coupland

There’s also another chance to see Dave Grohl in conversation with Dermot O’Leary in Reel Stories: Dave Grohl on BBC Two as well as Classic Albums – Nirvana: Nevermind on BBC Four. BBC Radio 2 programmes including Jo Whiley, Sounds of the 90s with Fearne Cotton and The Rock Show with Johnnie Walker will also mark the anniversary.

When Nirvana Came To Britain

This documentary tells the story of how between 1989 and 1994, Nirvana introduced a new and exciting brand of rock music to the UK, changing the musical landscape of the time and influencing a generation of British youth. The programme charts the band’s rise from their very first British tour, during which they performed in pubs and tiny venues, through to their legendary and infamous TV appearances on programmes such as The Word and Top of the Pops — moments that helped to cement their status as one of the biggest rock bands on the planet and brought grunge culture to the mainstream.

6 Music’s Deep Dive into Nevermind

6 Music celebrates the album in each of its daytime shows on Friday 24 September (7.30am-7pm) — the same date it was released in 1991. All daytime presenters from Lauren Laverne (7.30am-10.30am) through to Steve Lamacq (4pm-7pm) will each play three tracks from Nevermind. Songs will include classics such as Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are and Lithium and will each be introduced by special guests such as Butch Vig, Teenage Fanclub, Wu Lu and Brix Smith, who will reveal why the album and Nirvana are so important to them.
