Jane’s Addiction launched their Theatre of the Escapists Tour in 2012

Jane’s Addiction launched their Theatre of the Escapists Tour in 2012 to a sold-out crowd at the 2,000 seat Pageant Theatre in St. Louis, Missouri. In February 2012, Perry Farrell discussed the possibility of releasing a follow-up to The Great Escape Artist while touring in support of the album, stating, “What I have not seen before is a group that’s done a record, had somewhat of a theme – escapism – and then done a second record almost as if it was a follow-up movie . I want to do that. We have material left from The Great Escape Artist we didn’t record. I’m very inspired to keep with the theme. Something’s feeling right about it.”
