From the beginning, Jane’s Addiction has thrown the most unique parties in rock, mixing a fierce musicality with theatrical flair onstage. 2012 sees the band -- who’ve always outrageously combined electricity, sex and danger -- return in support of their acclaimed album The Great Escape Artist (Capitol Records), which features the track “Underground,” currently climbing the rock radio charts. On this special run of North American shows, called “Theatre of the Escapists,” the band will perform in intimate venues -- most of which are classic theatres.

The alternative rock pioneers -- frontman Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins, along with Chris Chaney on bass -- are poised to deliver an immersive theatrical experience as only they can.

“We chose to play as many of the great theatres that we could find because we wanted to immerse the audience in a unique experience unlike any they have ever seen at a rock show,” says Farrell. “Expect an orgy of musical and visual delights. We like orgies, and hope you do too.”

Special guests The Duke Spirit will open the show.
