BAND HONORED AS 2013 WALK OF FAME INDUCTEES
(Chicago, IL) - Legendary alternative rock pioneers Jane's Addiction have just announced a special Lollapalooza after show concert at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom on Saturday, August 4. They will be joined by very special guests, Franz Ferdinand, with dubstep pioneers Skream and Benga closing out the late night celebration. Tickets will go on sale this Friday at 10am CST at www.lollapalooza.com for $15, with a 4-ticket limit. While tickets to the 2012 edition of Lollapalooza have been sold-out for months, this show provides fans with another opportunity to experience the festival weekend. This spectacular event comes to fans via a partnership between Jane's Addiction and sponsors Rolling Stone, Rock Revival and Red Bull Sound Stage, from which Jane's Addiction will select a talented young band to open for the event.
Jane's Addiction front man and Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell promises more surprises as the group adds further immersive theatre aspects into this special evening. "Over the years the after show has become an important part of the Lollapalooza experience. This year, on the Saturday night of Lolla weekend, we're going to take the after party to an even higher place. Get ready for a next level after show Chicago!"
As an added bonus to fans everywhere, Jane's Addiction and Dobel Tequila will make a limited number of the band's latest album, The Great Escape Artist, available for free download on the Lollapalooza.com homepage beginning July 10.
As Jane's Addiction approaches their 25th anniversary as a band, they have already confirmed one celebration for 2013: an induction into the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Details on when and where the band will receive their star will be announced soon.
In August, the band will return to the road to continue The Great Escape Artist Tour, which has received rave reviews from fans and critics alike. Always interested in new talent, Jane's Addiction has hand picked some of their favorite new artists to open on the next leg of the tour, including Die Antwoord, Mute Math Band of Skulls.
What the critics are saying about the must-see The Great Escape Artist Tour:
"Jane's Addiction delivered an intimate and theatrical performance of grand proportions amid a surreal atmosphere... Overall, they looked and sounded just as good if better than ever... It was truly an intimate rock show experience and honestly, one of the best shows I've seen in a very long time." - Creative Loafing Tampa, May 2012
"Once considered a high priest of rock decadence, Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell may well be the best preserved of the post-punk, grunge and alternative rock survivors," - San Antonio Express News, May 2012
"The music was mondo intense ...and proved why this band is one of the major progenitors of alternative rock, and still remains on top. Material from its most recent release, 'Great Escape Artist,' was dished out liberally among the hits. The stage set was a sexed-up Warhol carnival with live girls punctuated by cinematic ones." - BrooklynVegan.com, March 2012
"The show was a reminder that many imitators have tried to mimic the distinctively sexual sound and energy of Jane's Addiction, but few have been able to capture lightning in a bottle like this band did - and continues to do." - Grand Rapids Press, March 2012
"It was a night for the ages with a band for the ages and is destined for The Hall." - Honest Tune, March 2012
