(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ) -- After kicking off their incredible 2024 tour on August 9th, rock and roll legends Jane's Addiction and Love and Rockets performed to a sold-out crowd in Los Angeles on August 13th. The two bring their tour to the local area with shows in Atlantic City (Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena) on Saturday, September 7th and New York City (The Rooftop at Pier 17) on September 10th and 11th.

Reuniting after 14 years, Jane’s Addiction played their most famous hits like “Been Caught Stealing”, “Mountain Song” and “Jane Says” as well as their new single Imminent Redemption”their first with all original members in 34 years! Love and Rockets captivated the audience with classic singles like “So Alive,” “No New Tale To Tell,” “Sweet F.A.”, “All in My Mind” and “Ball of Confusion” before wrapping up their set with the fan favorite “Yin and Yang (The Flowerpot Man)” from their second album Express.

Great bands break rules, but legends write their own. Jane’s Addiction formed in 1985 and has written the rule book for alternative music and culture through a combination of genre-defying classic songs and a cinematic live experience. The band consists of vocalist Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins, and bassist Eric Avery. Undoubtedly regarded as one of rock’s most influential acts, Jane’s Addiction’s first release was the stunning, self-titled live album Jane’s Addiction (1987), which led to two studio albums, Nothing Shocking (1988) and Ritual De Lo Habitual (1990). The band’s initial farewell tour in 1991 launched the first Lollapalooza which has since become THE perennial alternative rock festival.

 

Named after the underground comic by the Hernandez brothers, Love And Rockets made seven records over the course of thirteen years. They announced themselves to the world with their radically unique take on the classic Temptations song “Ball Of Confusion.” This debut proved that they were going to be a force to contend with. It became a huge seller and a popular club hit in the US and Canada, where it also went gold. It marked the beginning of a career that would span an impressive 14 years and seven albums.

The legacy of the band has only grown with more people realizing the extent of their influence and generations of new fans discovering them. The list of artists who cite their influence is impressive: The Flaming Lips, The Dandy Warhols, A Place To Bury Strangers, Jane's Addiction, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Beck, Maynard Keenan, Dubfire and the Pixies. ​Dec. 2023 saw the reissue of their Beggars Banquet catalog with a vinyl box set that sold out almost immediately and each of the label's releases released individually the following year, along with a previously unreleased compilation/companion CD to 1996's Sweet F.A. titled My Dark Twin. In celebration, Love And Rockets played a critically-hailed and largely sold out tour.
