Soundgarden Reunite for Seahawks Halftime With Taylor Momsen and Mike McCready

WHAT WENT DOWN

Soundgarden's three surviving members played halftime at the Seahawks' season opener on September 9, 2026, with Taylor Momsen singing and Mike McCready on guitar ^*, ^‡, ^§. NBC didn't air it, so only the crowd at Lumen Field saw it live ^†, ^¶.

THE DETAILS

• Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd performed at Lumen Field as Seattle hosted New England, a Super Bowl LX rematch ^*, ^‡, ^§.
• The set was a medley of "Outshined" and "Spoonman," backed by the Seahawks' "Blue Thunder" drumline ^*, ^†, ^‡.
• McCready played a Hendrix-styled instrumental national anthem pregame — that part made the broadcast ^*, ^†.
• NBC used the halftime window for studio commentary; fan-shot video circulated afterward ^†.
• Momsen stepped off The Pretty Reckless' AC/DC tour for the game; Foo Fighters covered the St. Louis support slot ^‡.

THE TAKE

Momsen has now fronted this band at a tribute concert, a Hall of Fame induction and an NFL kickoff ^§. Seattle won 13-10 ^‡, ^§.
