Just like any news, whether it is for a festival lineup or change in a band lineup, the process still takes the similar path to a duck-duck-goose game: Rumor-rumor-fact.

If you happen to be in London, or perhaps jetting into London Thursday, perhaps attending a rare, intimate Jane’s Addiction performance might be of interest.

The California rockers are currently on a world tour with Nine Inch Nails, but will veer from their schedule for a low-key gig at Centro in Holburn tomorrow evening 9 (July 16). The Chapman Family and Loverman will open the night. Tickets (£8) will be sold first come, first served on the door, which open at 9pm.

Jane’s Addiction just performed at T In The Park, the music festival that has been held annually in Scotland since 1994. The group recently threw their hat into the ring to play the Voodoo Experience in New Orleans over Halloween weekend. The Voodoo Experience showcases three performance areas – Le Ritual, Le Flambeau and Le Carnival – and eight stages; this is meant to highlight a unique side of the personality of New Orleans.

After a string of hush-hush appearances in Los Angeles and plans to tour with Nine Inch Nails through the spring and summer, it is apparent that Jane’s Addiction is back in full force.

To further solidify their triumphant return, which will feature all four original members together for the first time in 17 years (bassist Eric Avery was absent during their last go-round in 2003), Jane’s Addiction is releasing a new box set, “A Cabinet of Curiosities,” in April.

Nine Inch Nails will tour with Jane’s Addiction across the globe during 2009, and then go on hiatus indefinitely. Trent Reznor posted on the Nine Inch Nails official site:

“In NIN world, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of our first releases. I’ve been thinking for some time now, it’s time to make NIN disappear for a while.”

So this will be our last chances to see the band. Reznor also says that the performances will be “much more raw, spontaneous and less scripted,” in comparison with the “Lights in the Sky” tour last year.
