"'Superunknown' marked an important era in music, and we are excited to celebrate the 20th anniversary with SOUNDGARDEN," said Jennifer Breithhaupt, SVP of Entertainment Marketing for Citi. "Our cardmembers will not want to miss this rare opportunity to see the band performing such a massive album in such a small space."
"Superunknown - Deluxe Edition", which will feature the remastered album as well as b-sides, demos and rehearsals, will hit stores on June 3.
"Superunknown - Super Deluxe Edition" will also hit stores on June 3 but will be a full five CD set with a hardcover book and photos.
SOUNDGARDEN forntman Chris Cornell told Billboard.com that the idea for a "Superunknown" show came about after the group put together the special 20th anniversary deluxe editions. "It's the idea of the reissue and recognizing it as an anniversary, which I don't think is our instinct, ever," Cornell explained. "But it seemed kinda to make sense for this album. If you can single out any of our albums as being, like, the most iconic one, it's obviously this one. I think it's an accomplishment, and I'm proud we did it. So it's kind of a cool thing to do and concentrate on."
