Red Hot Chili Peppers’ statement reads: “With guitarist and all around cosmic musician John Frusciante back in the fold, the boys are firing on all cylinders, their hearts are full and they’re fixing to unleash an infinite river of creativity, and rock your world.

“The band is grateful to be working with event producers Live Nation in this endeavour.

“All the tour dates, sales information, support acts and other factoids will be available shortly.

"John Frusciante recently took the time to visit local news station KHOT to speak with legendary newscasters John Hammerswaddle, Todd the Squirrel, and Randy Raindrops, and speak about this upcoming journey..."

Legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante rejoined the band for a second time in December 2019.
