As they continue to bear down on the release of their new album Rainier Fog, on August 24th. Alice In Chains has booked a special acoustic set atop the iconic Space Needle in Seattle, WA. The set will find the band being the first to perform in the ‘The Loupe’, which features a revolving glass floor 500 feet in the air and is part of a recent $100 million dollar renovation of the landmark. SiriusXM will later broadcast the performance on Friday, August 31st at 5pm/8pm PT.
Jerry Cantrell commented:
“I’ve visited the Space Needle many times in my life and it’s going to be a real honor and a total trip for us to play there. We’re so proud of this album and to be able to celebrate its release with a performance at one of our town’s most iconic landmarks is really special. It sorta reminds me of the time we did the ‘Again‘ video, but instead of being 6 feet in the air rocking out on a glass floor, we’ll be 50 stories high…slight difference.”
