JANE’S ADDICTION TO RETURN TO INTIMATE CLUB SHOWS

On November 23 and 25, 1988, alternative rock pioneers JANE’S ADDICTION took to the stage of Chicago’s legendary Metro—the city’s destination for exciting new music–to launch their seminal, ground-breaking album Nothing’s Shocking.  On September 24 and 25, 2011, frontman Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins, along with Chris Chaney on bass, will return to the venue partnering with Citi to launch their newest offering, THE GREAT ESCAPE ARTIST, now due out Tuesday, October 18 via Capitol.

These Chicago dates mark the start of a one-of-a-kind series of two-night stands that will also take place in New York and Los Angeles. Citi® cardmembers will have access to presale tickets for the Chicago Metro shows beginning Tuesday, September 6th at 10AM central time through Citi’s Private Pass® Program. For complete presale details including exclusive VIP packages, custom launch show merchandise and unique opportunities to interact with the band visit www.citiprivatepass.com.

Tickets go on sale for the Chicago Metro shows on Saturday September 10. Keep checking www.citiprivatepass.com, www.JanesAddiction.com and www.facebook.com/JanesAddiction for ticket information on Los Angeles and New York.

The idea of big bands playing small rooms is always a special experience for the fans, but for JANE’S ADDICTION, this will also take them back to re-play some of their early classic shows in legendary clubs. JANE’S 1988 two night stand at the Cabaret Metro for Nothing’s Shocking are still considered by many Chicagoans as some of the greatest rock club shows of all time.

The JANE’S ADDICTION Small Club Room Dates Are:
9/24         Chicago, IL                                Metro
9/25         Chicago, IL                                Metro

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, 2011

Sonic 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.
