Porno for Pyros have postponed their 2023 reunion tour to finish working on new material, less than a week before they were set to hit the road. The Porno for Pyros lineup includes founding members Perry Farrell, drummer Stephen Perkins, guitarist Peter DiStefano, and original bassist Martyn LeNoble. Since their most recent reunion, the band has been teasing new music since they reunited, with DiStefano sharing on Instagram: “Porno For Pyros writing and recording new music,” along with a photo of Farrell and himself.

The band in a statement on their social media pages: “We are beyond thankful for all of your support these last 30 years, and are anxious to celebrate our 30th anniversary with you Whilst rehearsing for our first tour in 25 years, we’ve also been in the studio creating new music that we were hoping to get to you in time for these shows. Unfortunately, we have had to move the dates for the upcoming tour as we were not able to begin our campaign in time. So, we’ve pushed the tour a few months from now, in order for everyone to hear and appreciate the new material that is finally finished.”

The 21-date Horns, Thorns En Halos Tour  commemorating the band’s 30-year anniversary, was scheduled to start Sunday, October 8) in Wheatland, California before wrapping up at Stubb’s in Austin, Texas on November 20. The tour alsonmarks the first time in 25 years that Porno for Pyros has toured together; the band played their last full-length concert at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, Florida on Sept. 17, 1998 before breaking-up. Porno for Pyros reunited in 2009 for singer Perry Farrell’s 50th birthday and a Lollapalooza live-stream event in 2020, and the band played their first full show in more than 20 years at the Rockville Festival in Daytona Beach, Florida in May 2022.
