Jane's Addiction is a rock band that formed in LA in the 80s. They had just released their third album by 1991 and they were set to go on a final tour before their breakup. Singer Perry Farrell came up with the concept of Lollapalooza as a music and arts festival that toured many cities across the United States in the summer of 1991, solely for the tour of Jane's Addiction. From that moment on, the festival became an unexpected success and catapulted the music scene with similar music festivals such as Coachella. However, a few rocky years and the mainstream nature of Lollapalooza brought upon it's downfall, until it's rebirth in the 2000s. Join me today as I talk about who Jane's Addiction are, exactly how Perry birthed the famous festival, what lead to it being cancelled, and how it rose from the ashes.
