The Red Hot Chili Peppers have kicked off the European leg of their Global Stadium Tour with a performance at the 55,000-capacity PGE Narodowy Stadium in Warsaw, Poland. Support came from The Mars Volta and Iggy Pop, and the band have released a series of official photos from the event (below).
The band played a 20-song set that included RHCP classics like The Zephyr Song Snow ((Hey Oh)), Otherside, Soul to Squeeze, Californication, By the Way and Give It Away, alongside songs from last year's Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen albums. The band also played a cover of Iggy Pop's Neigborhood Threat – previously performed by guitarist John Frusciante at a solo show at the Viper Room in West Hollywood in 2001 – and gave a live debut to Dreamboy/Dreamgirl, originally a minor freestyle hit for Cynthia & Johnny O in 1990.
The tour, which began with a hometown show on April 1, 2022, at the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles, has already made one visit to Europe, with 15 shows completed in June and July last year. There have also been Asian and Oceanic legs, with a third North American leg scheduled for August and September, and a run of South American shows beginning in late October.
The next show on the tour is on Saturday night at the Tinderbox in Odense, Denmark. Full dates below.
