Ok let's play my favorite game recently: "Was this trailer for a movie or a TV show?"
Doesn't say on the thumbnail, it doesn't say in the description and it doesn't say in the trailer itself. (or at least I didn't pick up on it)
I had to google to know that this is a TV show.

Underneath basically every Nirvana music video on YouTube is an "Event Tickets" section.
But this isn't for a Nirvana reunion tour or something, these are for the "Smells like Nirvana" cover band.
