This weekend, Daytona International Speedway put their race cars in a garage to make way for some of Rock and Roll’s biggest names for the Welcome To Rockville festival. The weekend was packed with legends but the highlight was the long-awaited return of Perry Farrell’s Porno For Pyros. Besides a few brief appearances, including a two-song set for Lollapalooza’s 2020 webcast, the group hasn’t had a full slot on stage since 1998.
Originally, Farrell’s first band Jane’s Addiction was slated to perform but due to Dave Navarro’s “long bout with COVID”, an audible was called and the original lineup for Porno For Pyros was brought together with Mike Watt filling Martyn LeNoble’s bass spot. The band headlined capped off the weekend with a headlining slot on Sunday.

Despite their long hiatus, the band seemed to be in their prime. The performance was electric and featured songs from both of Farrell’s bands. They capped off the show with a three-song melody from Jane’s Addiction with a few more of the original band’s songs sprinkled in throughout the show.
