According to Spin, Porno for Pyros was a much later announced inclusion in the Lollapalooza lineup party. Due to COVID, there has been multiple groups and people dropping out. Making this performance and festival all the more memorable to everyone participating. Despite the setbacks that the pandemic has created for people, music lovers will ultimately surpass all in order to celebrate and appreciate our passions for some great tunes! This set is featuring the original bassist Martyn LeNoble, making his reappearance after a hiatus over twenty five years!
