While, in the grand scheme of things, and as I look over the massive Lolla lineup, a Porno for Pyros reunion maybe isn't that big a deal for many, BUT someone could be doing more to promote it wide scale for the generation that cares---I mean, there was just a RS article about Perry releasing a box set (WTF?), and that would have been a moment to mention it, and create interest in his box set. None of them have ever been any good at creating buzz.

Stephen just posted that Jane’s is playing too. Given all the curious social media activity, I wonder if Eric will be involved.

(He probably won’t)

I hope this Porno for Pyros live streamed show lasts at least 6 songs

Also I’m seeing articles that this is the first reunion in 24 years. I guess they forget the OG lineup played in 2009 :hs:

Here's more info:

Lollapalooza Announces 4-Night Livestream Featuring 150 Performances
The event promises a Porno for Pyros reunion, a David Bowie tribute, and an appearance from Michelle Obama in addition to a bevy of archival footage

In lieu of a physical event, Lollapalooza has announced a massive four-night livestream.

Streaming for free on YouTube, Lolla2020 promises 150 performances and appearances, including archival footage from previous editions of the festival, as well as new, original performances from the likes of Kali Uchis, Vic Mensa, Jamila Woods, Tanks and the Bangas, Pink Sweat$, H.E.R., and more.
Of particular note, Jane’s Addiction frontman and Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell will stage three special performances throughout the weekend: the first Porno for Pyros reunion in 24 years; a tribute to David Bowie with pianist Mike Garson; and a special performance of Kind Heaven Orchestra featuring Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins. Ferrell will also moderate conversations with Metallica’s Lars Ulrich and Public Enemy’s Chuck D, among others.

The lineup also boasts “fan-favorite” archival sets from Paul McCartney, Metallica, The Cure, OutKast, LCD Soundsystem, Arcade Fire, Lorde, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Tyler the Creator, Run the Jewels, ASAP Rocky, Chance the Rapper, Tenacious D, Cypress Hill, Jane’s Addiction, Alabama Shakes, Tove Lo, Portugal. the Man, Kehlani, LL Cool J, Princess Nokia, Polo G, and more.

Throughout the event, Lollapalooza will also promote a number of social causes. The festival is partnering with Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote organization to encourage new voter registration; Obama herself is expected to make an appearance at some point. Additionally, viewers will be encouraged to donate to the Equal Justice Initiative, which is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the U.S., and the Arts for Illinois Relief Fund, which provides financial relief to venues and workers impacted by COVID-19.

Lollapalooza’s Lolla2020 livestream goes down Thursday, July 30th – Sunday, August 2nd beginning at 5:00 p.m. CT nightly. A full schedule will be revealed on Wednesday, July 29th.

Like every other major event in the US this year, Lollaplooza canceled its 2020 physical staging due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic. And if you believe the festival’s co-founder, it may not be until 2022 before another edition of Lolla can be held.
I agree with blackcoffee that Perry missed an oppourtunity to promote and share this info when he did the RS interview.

Cool.

maybe ...... :hehe: :scared:



Is it pretty much assumed that it will be Perry, Pete, Martyn and Stephen...... or nobody knows anything?

Maybe that is a pipe dream, but I don't keep up with these things (personal relations among the band )

:noclue:

Based on social media posts, it looks like it’ll be Watt on bass.

So I think its probably the rebroadcast of the Janes set from a few years back (the Ritual show) plus a P4P thing they recorded a couple of weeks ago. :noclue: :noclue:

Yes!

I am guessing Pets, Good Gods, Tahitian Moon and who knows what else. 100 Ways? Hard Charger?

Would be killer if they played Packin' .25 and Black Girlfriend but let's be honest, that won't ever happen.

Perk usually plays "Dogs Rule The Night" and "Cursed Female" at his clinics. Those two songs would be killers

I wonder if Martyn was asked? I know he said that he would never play with Perry again.

It fascinates me how anyone could burn bridges with the likes of Martyn LeNoble or Eric Avery. Martyn seems like a super chill, down to earth guy...with boundaries. And while Eric seems the same, he's not a "yes" man...but for the benefit of the art and those around him.

It's too bad Perry can't trust the process and leave his ego at the door.

In the case with Perk, he seems as mellow as it gets and likely has never challenged Perry on anything. With Dave, business is business. "How much does it pay? Where? What time?" :davegoatee:

It's just sad. Between Jane's and Porno, there were five quality albums (1987-1996). Without Perry's ego, they easily could've doubled that.
