Update - 23 November, 2018: Due to overwhelming demand during pre-sales, a second and FINAL Sydney show has been added to Red Hot Chili Peppers Australia 2019 tour.
It looks like summer is about to heat up, with the announcement that Red Hot Chili Peppers will make a long-overdue return to Australia in 2019.
Playing their first Australian headline tour in 12 years, the group will bring their funk-rock sounds and high-energy performances for arena and outdoor shows, starting with a rare, intimate show in Hobart, Tasmania.The Peppers are one of the most successful acts in rock history, often performing in front of stadium and festival audiences in excess of 100,000.
They're expected to play a set of tracks like 'Dark Necessities' (lifted from their current album 'The Getaway') as well as classics like 'By The Way', 'Can't Stop', 'Snow (Hey Oh)', 'Otherside', 'Californication', 'Under The Bridge' and 'Give It Away'.
“We can’t wait to see all our fans in Australia and New Zealand - it has been too long. The fact that we get to play in Tassie for the first time makes this tour even more special," the band says.
