Iconic American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers are adding two New Zealand stops to their global stadium tour next year.
Possibly the biggest international act to play in Aotearoa since the Covid-19 pandemic began, they're set to play two huge stadium shows in January next year - at Auckland's Mt Smart Stadium on the 21st and Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium on the 26th. They'll be joined by none other than rap superstar Post Malone.
Their worldwide tour kicked off in Spain last month after the release of their new album Unlimited Love, with shows in Paris, Dublin, London, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and more.
Not only are Red Hot Chili Peppers one of the bestselling acts in history, they're still one of the most-streamed rock bands today.
Anthony Kiedis (vocals), Flea (bass), Chad Smith (drums), and John Frusciante (guitar) have sold 80 million albums, won six Grammy Awards, generated five billion views on YouTube and 22 billion streams on Spotify, with an average of 21 million monthly listeners on the platform.
