After reuniting for Lollapalooza's 2020 livestream, Porno for Pyros played their first proper set since the '90s at Welcome to Rockville in May, filling in as a last minute replacement for frontman Perry Farrell's other band Jane's Addiction. That reunion wasn't a one-off, either; they recently announced they'd be playing a Lollapalooza Aftershow this summer, at Chicago's Metro on July 30. And now they've announced another date, this time in Los Angeles. It happens on July 7 at The Belasco, and it's part of Perry and Etty Lau Farrell's "Heaven After Dark" "avant-garde nightlife" series, which began earlier this year.
"What led to the genesis of Heaven After Dark is we were looking into the future having existed in a very, I think, constrained presence that was COVID-19," Perry told HollywoodLife in February. "Even before COVID-19, we were looking at a scenario where we were kind-of caught in a backwash of entertainment that had gone to festivals surfacing that were copying each other. And in the clubs, it had turned into your basic bottle-service nights, and we had to think our way out of that because it was causing everyone to be very uninterested in experiencing nightlife. It’s so vital to the creation of culture. And so, we started to conceptualize what would break this traffic or log jam on the freeway of art, music, dance, and culture, and we came up with Heaven After Dark."
