The Red Hot Chili Peppers have confirmed a North American tour in support of latest album The Getaway.
They’ll be on the road from January to March next year, following their current European run, which includes UK shows with Babymetal in December.
And former drummer Jack Irons will appear as support act for the January shows.
The Getaway, their 11th album, was release in June, after the band hired producer Danger Mouse and abandoned the work they’d already done.
Frontman Anthony 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.’
“The only way we saw this working was to trust him – get rid of our old ideas and our old way of doing things.”
Bassist Flea later revealed he thought the snowboarding accident had ended his career, adding: ”A girl looked at my X-rays and said, ‘There are big pieces of bone shorn off. You broke it in five places. There’s nerve damage.’
“I was so bummed. I felt like I’d let everybody down, because we couldn’t record, but we’d written all our stuff. I was just really, really sad.”
North American tickets go on general sale on September 23 with a fan club pre-sale 48 hours earlier. Full tour dates are listed below.
