Their first release was the self-titled live album Jane's Addiction (1987). That then led to two studio albums, Nothing Shocking (1988) and Ritual De Lo Habitual (1990).

The band's initial farewell tour, in 1991, launched the first Lollapalooza which has since become a perennial alternative rock festival. The band broke up and reformed, once in 1997 and then in 2001. In 2003 they released the hugely acclaimed Strays album, before dissolving again the following year. 2008 saw the band reform and tour the world and in 2011 they released the The Great Escape Artist album.

Since then they have continued to play shows and remain active. In 2022 Eric Avery returned to the group ahead of a joint tour with The Smashing Pumpkins.

Tickets for The Summer Series show at Trinity College are €59.90 and go on sale this Friday, December 8 at 10am, here.
