Following funky acid-rockers Jane’s Addiction’s successful recent comeback gigs, a short set at the first-ever NME Awards USA on April 23, 2008 after their acceptance speech for the “Godlike Genius Award”, their first full set in 17 years in Los Angeles on October 23, 2008 at La Cita Bar, and two other “secret” gigs, it has been confirmed that they will be touring this year with Nine Inch Nails.
When the full reunited line-up of Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Eric Avery, and Stephen Perkins played the NME Awards, it was the first performance they’d played with bassist Eric Avery since 1991. The band played “Stop!”, “Mountain Song”, “Ocean Size” and “Jane Says” and the event was broadcast via MySpace.
The set list for their La Cita Bar gig was “Up the Beach”, “Trip Away”, “Whores”, “1%”, “Ain’t No Right”, “Pigs in Zen”, “Ted… Just Admit It”, “Ocean Size”, “Had a Dad”, “Been Caught Stealing”.

*Nine Inch Nails solo gig
The tour is said to be ending in Las Vegas in December, but worldwide dates are yet to be announced.
Trent Reznor recently announced that this was to be Nine Inch Nails’ last tour in their current format.
RMF opinion: Hopefully this tour will be Europe-bound. We’d like to see more from the superb “Strays” album on the set-list too! This may be your last chance to see Nine Inch Nails in all their energetic live glory, following Trent Reznor’s recent statement that NIN would never play live again in their current format. Sounds like Trent Reznor plans to take NIN in a new direction, so watch this space. In another recent announcement, Reznor admitted that he has been in the studio recently, recording Jane’s Addiction’s first new album since Strays in 2003. We can’t wait to hear it!
Verdict: Unmissable!
