  • Porno For Pyros to Bid Farewell, Two March Dates in New York

    Alternative rock group Porno For Pyros announced a North American tour for this coming spring, originally breaking a 26-year touring hiatus, but now will be a farewell tour. Titled the “Horns, Thorns, En Halos Tour” includes two stops in New York State, Port Chester on March 7 and NYC on March 8, 2024.

    Porno For Pyros Upcoming Tour

    Porno For Pyros formed in 1992 in Los Angeles, following vocalist Perry Farrell and drummer Stephen Perkins’s departure from 90’s rock group Jane’s Addiction. Their first record, a self titled album released in 1993, charted immediately on Billboard’s Top 100. The group followed up with Good God’s Urge in 1996, and later disbanded in 1998.

    The group has been teasing a full return since 2013, and is set to release a brand new EP next year. Their most recent release, a single titled “Agua,” released on November 16. The new track is inspired by environmental concerns, and reminiscing memories from surfing trips the group took in the 90’s.

    Now we’re here, and that same heart, that same desire to make music together, has returned. Getting together with these guys has been some of the most fun, the happiest times in my life

    Porno For Pyros will play two shows in New York State on their upcoming tour, in Port Chester and NYC. The group will play The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester on March 7. Finally, they will make a stop at NYC’s Manhattan Center Hammerstein Ballroom the following day on March 8.
