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.

As predicted, Jane’s Addiction played Been Caught Stealing and Mountain Song at Activision’s E3 event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles last night.  We’d previously described it as a Guitar Hero event, but the event was actually celebrating all of Activision’s upcoming titles including DJ Hero and Call of Dudy: Spec-Ops.

Jane’s Addiction playing E3 / Guitar Hero Event Monday

Dave Navarro tweeted the following just a few minutes ago.

We are playing 2 songs at E3/Guitar Hero event on Monday… We made sure to get 10 pairs of tickets to give away. More to come…

E3 is the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo, which kicks off this Monday.

UPDATE (6/13): According to another tweet from Dave, Jane’s will be playing at 9pm at the Staple Center.  They’ll be playing “playing 2 songs (that appear in video games)”, which should be Mountain Song and Been Caught Stealing as the first appeared in Guitar Hero World Tour and the latter is set to appear in Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock.

Interestingly enough is that both songs appear in the rival Rock Band series of games as well.  Mountain Song appears in Rock Band 2 and Been Caught Stealing is set to appear in Rock Band 3.  The entire Nothing’s Shocking album is available as download-able content for Rock Band.
