It's no secret that Post Malone has got absolutely rad taste in music, having collaborated with Ozzy Osbourne, hung out with Metallica, covered Pantera and even played beer pong with Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong.

According to a press release, Post will “perform a set of Nirvana hits and fan favourites” while also raising money for the United Nations Foundation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
