After Jane’s Addiction was forced to cancel this past weekend’s performances at the Reading and Leeds festivals due to Perry Farrell losing his voice, tonight’s show in London was put into question. Well, Dave Navarro posted this to twitter minutes ago:
I know its a little late, but the show is on tonigt!
Due to swelling in Perry Farrell’s vocal chords, Jane’s Addiction were forced to cancel their performances at last night’s Reading Festival and tonight’s Leeds Festival. The band were scheduled to headline the NME / BBC Radio 1 stage. No decision has been made on Tuesday’s show at KOKO. Here is hoping for a speedy recovery for Perry.
The following was posted to Twitter this morning by Dave Navarro:
This morning in London his doctor determined that Perry Farrell’s vocal condition remains unchanged from last night. Again Jane’s Addiction wishes to convey their sincere apologies to the fans who had been looking forward to their scheduled performances at Reading and Leeds.
According to the Edmonton Journal, the September 4th Sonic Boom festival will now be taking place at the Edmonton Expo Centre due to weather concerns.
Sonic Boom will rock out indoors due to weather worries
By Sandra Sperounes, Edmonton Journal August 23, 2011Sonic Boom is heading indoors – partly due to “Edmonton’s volatile summer weather patterns,” according to organizers.
The mainstage of the Sept. 4 modern rock festival, starring Jane’s Addiction, Metric and Cee Lo Green, is moving from the parking lot of Northlands to the Expo Centre.
A spokesperson for the festival’s promoter, Union Events, says ticket sales are “all right” but have been affected by the city’s weather.
“The move comes after careful consideration of fan feedback, and the effects of Edmonton’s volatile summer weather patterns taking its toll on several major outdoor events, including Sonic Boom itself,” reads a statement from Union Events.
Capital Ex, in particular, was hit hard by July’s rainy weather – with 35,000 fewer people attending than in 2010.
Tickets to Sonic Boom range from $79.50 to $199.50 plus service charges at Ticketmaster. Up ‘n’ coming rock acts such as The Joy Formidable, Hollerado and Manchester Orchestra are also on the bill.
Two indoor VIP areas will be provided, including a side-stage deck, and all ticketholders will have access to an outdoor lounge.
Last year’s festival, featuring Rise Against, Weezer, and City and Colour, attracted almost 15,000 fans.
One of the first ladies of rock, Joan Jett, is bringing her Blackhearts to River Cree Resort and Casino.
The 52-year-old purveyor of Bad Reputation, I Love Rock and Roll and I Hate Myself For Loving You will perform Saturday, Oct. 29. Tickets are $59.50 plus service charges at rivercreetickets.com.
Who knew Smash Mouth was still around?
The ’90s pop-rock stars, who enjoyed a brief career revival with their cover of I’m a Believer for the first Shrek film, will play Saturday, Oct. 1, at River Cree. Tickets are $39.50 plus service charges at rivercreetickets.com.

NEWS – Jane’s Addiction Perform at Tim Burton Exhibition
Published on May 29, 2011 by Christian SellersAlthough unique style has been replaced by something more stale and mainstream, cult filmmaker Tim Burton is still a highly respected artist, whose classic movies have included Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands and A Nightmare Before Christmas.
An exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art has begun today that will run until – rather appropriately – Halloween, and includes hundreds of photgraphs, paintings drawings, puppets, costumes and more from his work over the last thirty years.
To celebrate the event, Jane’s Addiction performed a set in the courtyard of the museum. “Really had a fabulous time at The Tim Burton exhibit at LACMA. If you get a chance, you really must go,” said guitarist Dave Navarro on his Twitter page, having previously stated that he was ‘honored’ to perform.
Frontman Perry Farrell even dressed for the occasion, prompting Navarro to add, “I always knew that @perryfarrell was mad as a hatter.” Celebrity fans also praised the performance, with guitar legend Slash stating, “Just got back from an amazing Tim Burton art exhibit at LACMA. & Jane’s Addiction played a set in the courtyard. Pretty cool.”
