Jane’s Addiction

Do you have a special talent? Are you interested in seeing Jane's Addiction on tour -- from a once-in-a-lifetime, behind-the-scenes perspective? This could be your opportunity to put your unique gifts to work for the greater good of rock and roll.

Jane’s Addiction have long been known for their provocative stage shows and frontman Perry Farrell’s unquestionable onstage charisma. That said, it should come as no surprise that Farrell says the legendary Los Angeles outfit’s upcoming “Theatre of the Escapists Tour” will take inspiration from the dramatic “Boardwalk Empire” era, complete with video mapping, "immersive theater" and -- get this -- a new character named “Bubba.”

Just days after they announced the cities for their upcoming tour of what they're calling "classic theatres," Jane's Addiction have revealed the dates -- and they've also lined up a sweet high-profile gig at Volkswagen's pre-Super Bowl Rock & Roll Fan Tailgate Party on Feb. 5, where they'll be appearing with the Roots and DJ Pete Wentz.

With a new album, 'The Great Escape Artist,' out for a few months and their latest single, 'Underground,' buzzing at radio, Jane's Addiction are ready to return to the road for their first dates of 2012 -- and this time, one of rock's most theatrical acts is adding a suitably theatrical twist: the band will be stopping at "classic theatres" during a run of dates that will see them playing intimate venues across the country.
