Inconsistent - should the Nudedragons performance in 2024 be included?

Latest comment: 10 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In the infobox, next to the 'years active', someone had wrote 'Do not add "2024" here! They did not perform as Soundgarden in 2024.'

But, in the Members section, 2024 is included next to the members' years and also in the timeline graphic.

Ultimately it needs to be consistent. So, should 2024 be considered as part of Soundgarden's 'active years'? If yes, then I assume Shaina Shepherd should be listed as a Former Member or Former Touring Member then, since she performed during the full night.

Though I'm personally inclined to not include 2024 at all. Xanarki (talk) 19:42, 9 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Still an active band?

If they're going to be performing live in Seattle, and their next studio album is coming out soon, aren't they technically active in 2026? 2019 and 2025 are listed. Partyclams (talk) 04:24, 6 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
