Red Hot Chili Peppers have added 27 tour dates next spring to promote their latest album, The Getaway.
The Californian outfit have extended their North American trek, with the newly announced dates kicking off at Washington’s Verizon Center on April 12 and wrapping up at Chicago’s United Center on June 30. The raft of shows follows their winter run.
Ahead of th enew album’s release, the frontman revealed the band had scrapped their first attempt at the follow-up to 2011’s I’m With You after hiring Danger Mouse as producer.

Kiedis said in May: “We wrote 20 to 30 songs and it was all ready to go. Then Flea went snowboarding and broke his arm real bad.
“When the dust settled, Danger Mouse emerged and said, ‘Let’s go make a record.’ We were like, ‘Great, we have all these songs!’ He was like, ‘Leave those there. Let’s go write new songs in the studio.’ So the process began over again.
“The only way we saw this working was to trust him – get rid of our old ideas and our old way of doing things.”
In September, Red Hot Chili Peppers also released their video for Go Robot.
The band are currently on the road in Europe. They have seven UK dates scheduled next month with support from Babymetal.
