Jane's Addiction performed at the first-ever [[NME Awards]] USA on April 23, 2008, with the reunited core line-up of Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Eric Avery, and Stephen Perkins. This was the first performance with bassist Eric Avery since 1991, taking place after their acceptance speech for the "Godlike Genius Award". To follow this up, the original line up performed their first full set in 17 years in Los Angeles on October 23, 2008, at La Cita Bar, and played two further club gigs at the [[Cabaret Concert Theatre|El Cid]] in Los Angeles on November 20.<ref>{{cite web|author=Vanessa |url=http://www.janesaddiction.com/ |title=Janesaddiction.com |access-date=May 28, 2011}}</ref> and the Echoplex on February 16, 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://webinfront.net/?p=1808 |title=Concert Review: Jane's Addiction @ the Echoplex (2.16.09) |publisher=Webinfront.net |access-date=May 28, 2011}}</ref> On April 11, 2009, they had a birthday bash for Perry that included members of Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros on the same stage; the bash was nicknamed Perrypalooza.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mkz2BO9847Y perrypalooza 'cool crowd singing happy b-day to perry' April 11, 2009] – YouTube</ref>

Around this time, photos of Farrell, Navarro, Avery and Perkins, taken by [[Trent Reznor]], appeared on [[Nine Inch Nails]]' official website, leading to speculation that Reznor could be helping Jane's Addiction record new material.<ref>{{cite web|author=Vanessa |url=http://www.janesaddiction.com |title=Janes Addiction – "The Great Escape Artist" The new album coming August 2011 |publisher=Janesaddiction.com |access-date=May 28, 2011}}</ref> "He did his best to be both producer and psychologist," Farrell said, in a ''Billboard'' report about tension between himself and Avery. "He was very respectful, trying to get out of the way and not overproduce. I wish honestly he would've produced a little more, but he was a little gun-shy after seeing us explode on each other in the studio. He became the referee for a day and after that day I think he was done."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/268858/janes-addiction-reunion-marred-by-feuds|title=Jane's Addiction Reunion Marred By Feuds|magazine=Billboard}}</ref> Nonetheless, Reznor subsequently posted a blog entry announcing that Jane's Addiction would accompany Nine Inch Nails on their summer 2009 tour, which kicked off on May 8 in West Palm Beach, Florida.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nin.com/?%3F |title=the official nine inch nails website |publisher=Nin.com |access-date=May 28, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606101543/http://www.nin.com/?%3F |archive-date=June 6, 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

To accompany the tour, newly recorded versions of "Chip Away" and "Whores" were released for free via the official tour website.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ninja2009.com/ |title=nin.com [the official nine inch site website |publisher=Ninja2009.com |access-date=May 28, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224045213/http://www.ninja2009.com/ |archive-date=February 24, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Farrell explained: "To get some creative juice flowing, we went into the studio for about two weeks. We had the idea to re-record two tunes, just because they'd never been done officially in the studio. And we had some fun writing some new things. A handful that are close to finished, but not quite done. But there's no rush to put anything out at this point."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/269166/janes-addiction-drops-two-free-new-trent-reznor-produced-tracks|title=Jane's Addiction Drops Two Free New Trent Reznor-Produced Tracks|magazine=Billboard }}</ref> Navarro blogged: "We wanted to give our longtime listeners something to celebrate the tour and 'Whores' has always been one of the tracks that defined Jane's early on."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.6767.com/ |title=Dave Navarro, ''A Couple PH Questions Answered'' |access-date=July 27, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060804083014/http://6767.com/ |archive-date=August 4, 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

A retrospective box set, ''[[A Cabinet of Curiosities]]'', was released to coincide with the NIN/JA tour in April 2009.

In July 2009, Jane's Addiction was scheduled to play the [[Splendour in the Grass]] festival in Australia when a health issue forced a last-minute cancellation.<ref name="Jane's Addiction cancel Australian show/s">{{cite web|url=http://musicfeeds.com.au/news/rumour-janes-addiction-to-cancel-australian-tour-due-to-arm-infection|title=Jane's Addiction cancel Splendour appearance, possibly entire Australian tour|date=July 23, 2009|publisher=MusicFeeds}}</ref> [[Music Feeds]] reports that an arm infection, probably that of drummer Stephen Perkins, is the cause of the cancellation. The entire Australian leg of the Jane's Addiction 2009 world tour was cancelled, though Jane's Addiction would play the next year's Splendour in the Grass.<ref>[http://www.janesaddiction.com/story/news/janes_addiction_forced_to_cancel_australian_tour_leg] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090827110136/http://www.janesaddiction.com/story/news/janes_addiction_forced_to_cancel_australian_tour_leg|date=August 27, 2009}}</ref>

Jane's Addiction performed at the 2009 [[Voodoo Experience|Voodoo Fest]] held at City Park in New Orleans, Louisiana over Halloween weekend.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.nme.com/news/eminem/45776|title=Eminem to headline New Orleans' Voodoo Experience|magazine=NME}}</ref> The concert was filmed and a year later released as ''Live Voodoo'' DVD, which received mixed reviews. "It all falls rather flat, a two-dimensional sound robbing the likes of 'Ocean Size' and 'Ted, Just Admit It' of any sense of dynamics," Phil Mongredien of ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'' wrote.<ref>Mongredien, Phil: Review Music DVDs; ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'' October 2010; p134.</ref>

Jane's Addiction returned to Australia in February 2010 for the Soundwave Festival.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.soundwavefestival.com |title=Soundwave Festival |publisher=Soundwave Festival |access-date=May 28, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100812091522/http://www.soundwavefestival.com/ |archive-date=August 12, 2010  }}</ref> Avery left the band following the festival, stating: "That's it. With equal parts regret and relief, the Jane's Addiction experiment is at an end."<ref name="stereokill.net">{{cite web |last=Lindsay |first=Andrew |url=http://stereokill.net/2010/03/eric-avery-departs-janes-addiction/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100920232626/http://stereokill.net/2010/03/eric-avery-departs-janes-addiction/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 20, 2010 |title=Eric Avery departs Jane's Addiction |publisher=stereokill.net |access-date=May 28, 2011 }}</ref>
