Red Hot Chili Peppers Add New Aus Tour Dates Due To Overwhelming Demand

In July, Red Hot Chili Peppers announced their massive 2023 Australian tour with Post Malone. Playing in stadiums across the country and on two New Zealand dates, the American rock band will promote their two 2022 albums, Unlimited Love, released in April and the upcoming Return Of The Dream Canteen.

Due to overwhelming demand, they will play a second show at Sydney's Accor Stadium on Saturday, 4 February and Melbourne's Marvel Stadium on Thursday, 9 February. The tour begins in Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday, 29 January, before heading off to Sydney and Melbourne and concluding the tour at Perth's Optus Stadium on Sunday, 12 February.

The two albums saw the comeback of the band's seminal line-up, with guitarist John Frusciante and producers Rick Rubin and Ryan Hewitt returning to the fold; Frusciante and Hewitt last worked with Red Hot Chili Peppers on their 2006 album and corresponding tour for Stadium Arcadium.

Upon announcing the upcoming Return Of The Dream Canteen - out next Friday - the band shared, "Two double albums released back to back. The second of which is easily as meaningful as the first or should that be reversed. Return Of The Dream Canteen is everything we are and ever dreamed of being. It's packed."

Post Malone released his fourth album, Twelve Carat Toothache, in June, following numerous collaborations with DaBaby, Megan Thee Stallion, Travis Barker, Fleet Foxes vocalist Robin Pecknold, Tommy Lee and Tyga, Roddy Rich, and more. The rapper and singer has sold over 80 million records across his four studio albums and reached a double and triple-platinum status in Australia.
