Porno for Pyros Reunite for Welcome to Rockville Fest This Weekend

Porno for Pyros is back. The band, featuring Jane's Addiction members Perry Farrell and Stephen Perkins, has arranged a reunion for this weekend's Welcome to Rockville festival in Daytona Beach, Florida while guitarist Dave Navarro recovers from Covid: "While we’re saddened that Jane’s Addiction can no longer join us, we are beyond excited to have Porno for Pyros perform live for the first time in 26 years ON OUR STAGE THIS WEEKEND," the festival shared on social media.

“The gang and the government are no different. That makes me 1%," Farrell added. "Rockville, although we are blue that Jane’s cannot be with you at this time due to Dave’s long bout with COVID, I am still coming to Daytona, bringing to you for the first time in 26 years Porno For Pyros Featuring myself, Perry Farrrell, Stephen Perkins, Peter DiStefeno and Mike Watt. We’ll play some Jane’s songs for you as well, but for now let’s recall: My boat’s capsized it’s gonna sink to the bottom. I can see the lights on the shore…”

Porno for Pyros did come together in 2020 for a special two-song acoustic set that was filmed and broadcast as part of the Lollapalooza livestream that year.

Welcome to Rockville is set to rock Daytona Beach over the weekend of May 19-22, 2022, and feature Guns 'N Roses, KISS, Megadeth, Smashing Pumpkins, and Poppy on the hard rock and metal-intensive bill.
