Charismatic alternative rock
After an eight-year absence from continental Europe, Jane’s Addiction is all the way back with a string of festival and indoor appearances! Before playing The Barn at Rock Werchter, Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins and Eric Avery will provide an exceptional moment together with the Belgian public in the intimate setting of the AB on June 4! Not to be missed!
Great bands break the rules, but legends write their own. Jane’s Addiction laid the foundation for alternative rock culture by combining the classic tricks of the genre with an almost cinematic stage experience. Driven by the visionary talent of frontman Perry Farrell, Jane’s Addiction has always been widely admired.
Since their formation in 1985, the band managed to keep the enigmatic veil around the ultra-charismatic personalities of the four band members. After a self-titled legendary live album released in 1987 and two studio albums, “Nothing Shocking” (1988) and “Ritual De Lo Habitual” (1990), the band imploded and broke up on a farewell tour under the name “Lollapalooza,” which gave its name to the alternative rock festival we all know today.
Since then, these holy monsters of the international rock scene reunited occasionally, whenever they felt like it. The result is two more studio albums, “Strays” and “The Great Escape Artist,” and a string of live shows, each more impressive than the next. Jane’s Addiction has created a sound the world has never heard before, both powerful and sensitive, with blistering riffs and piercing lyrics. You don’t want to miss that on June 4 at Ancienne Belgique.
