This ain’t the same Jane's Addiction you saw with Smashing Pumpkins two years ago. A full reunion of the quintessential ‘90s alt-rock outfit has been in the works for years, and the late Taylor Hawkins—who was good friends with the band—even helped facilitate it.

But due to a struggle with long COVID, Dave Navarro needed a little more time to rest up before anything massive could happen.

Now that the gang’s back together, a new single (its first with the original lineup in 34 years) “Imminent Redemption” lives up to its name, and shows zero signs of wear or tear in the original band, despite a few years away.

Tickets to see Jane's Addiction play MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa on Thursday, Aug. 29 are still available and start at $39.50. Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
