Jane’s “Fans’ Addiction” Concert
by Dave Navarro on June 29, 2009
Jane’s “Fans’ Addiction” concert will take place this Friday July 2nd at The Roxy on the Sunset Strip.
The Roxy has always held a special place in our hearts because it’s where we recorded our first record. And as we said we want the majority of tickets to this show going to our fans so there will be a few ways to get them from us. Sign up for tickets on janesaddiction.com starting tomorrow. Also look for tweets from Perry or myself this week to win tickets. The remainder of seats will be for those who choose to wait in line at the Roxy on Friday. Doors will open at 8pm.
This show is part of the Sunset Strip Summer Concert Series presented by Bing and is being filmed for use at a later time so come dressed to have fun.
Jane’s Addiction Announces July 2nd Hollywood Show
Jane’s Addiction announced tonight that they will be performing at a special show for the fans on July 2nd in Hollywood. We’ll pass along venue details and ticket info as soon as we can.
Dave Navarro posted the following on his 6767 site:
We in Jane’s Addiction have done several intimate LA shows over the past year or so… Little places with 100 or so tickets set aside for the fans. It was tough for a lot of fans to get in even after waiting all day for entry. With all of our friends and family in LA, it’s sometimes hard to accommodate everybody. Well it looks like we are doing another show and we have decided to make this show an event that is mainly for the fans. We are going to strip back the guest list, inviting only our immediate loved ones and let the majority of tickets be made available to the people who have given us so much over the years, the fans.
This show will be in Hollywood on July 2. Ticket information will be made available soon.
