Red Hot Chili Peppers Extend 'Unlimited Love' Tour into 2024 with Support from Ice Cube, Kid Cudi and More

The rock group will resume their massive tour in support of their 12th studio album in spring 2024

Red Hot Chili Peppers “can’t stop” their touring momentum. 

On Monday, the rock band featuring frontman Anthony Kiedis, drummer Chad Smith, bassist Flea and guitarist John Frusciante announced that they’re extending their Unlimited Love Tour into 2024. The band first kicked off the tour in support of their 12th studio album in June 2022, and after continuing the shows into 2023, they’ll continue the stadium run for a third year. 

After playing two previously announced shows in Lincoln, California and Highland, California and a festival date at Tempe, Arizona’s Innings Festival in February, the latest North American leg of the Unlimited Love Tour will begin in late May. The “Californiacation” group will kick things off on May 28 in Ridgefield, Washington and then travel throughout the west and east coast. The string of 16 new live dates includes stops in both mid-sized and major cities, such as Salt Lake City, Utah, Tampa, Florida, Cincinnati, Ohio, Toronto and others.

The Grammy winners brought exciting guests with them out on the road on their first run of the Unlimited Love Tour — including A$AP Rocky , King Princess , St. Vincent, The Strokes and more— and their 2024 shows are no different. This time around, they’re also being supported by an eclectic mix of both hip-hop and rock acts. At select performances, they’ll be joined by rappers Ice Cube , Ken Carson and Kid Cudi , Afrobeat artist Seun Kuti & Egypt80 , Japanese punk group Otoboke Beaver , rock group Wand and indie band IRONTOM , who previously supported them at a handful of 2023 shows. 

When the “Scar Tissue” band first launched the Unlimited Love Tour, it marked their first tour in five years and a reunion with Frusciante, 53, who exited the band for a period from 2009 to 2019. ( Josh Klinghoffer filled in for him during his departure.)

Upon the announcement of their most recent, hit album in 2022, RHCP shared a statement in a press release about what it was like working together with the core lineup for the first time since 2006’s Stadium Arcadium . "Our only goal is to get lost in the music. We spent thousands of hours, collectively and individually, honing our craft and showing up for one another, to make the best album we could," the foursome shared. "We were just so damn grateful for the opportunity to be in a room together, and once again, try to get better."

Published on

Red Hot Chili Peppers have announced their first tour since beloved guitarist John Frusciante returned to the rock band.

They announced the tour in a parody video from the fake news station KHOT. In the clip, Anthony Kiedis (as Johnson Hammerswaddle) and Flea (as Todd the Squirrel) welcome Frusciante, who reveals that the world tour starts in June 2022, with U.S. dates beginning the next month. Stay tuned for particulars regarding cities and dates. The video also includes a cameo from Chad Smith as weatherman Randy Raindrops.

Frusciante re-joined the band in 2019 . Nearly a decade following his original departure, the band announced his return.

‘Siren’: Roxy Music’s Seductive Fifth Album

“The Red Hot Chili Peppers announced that we are parting ways with our guitarist of the past ten years, Josh Klinghoffer. Josh is a beautiful musician who we respect and love. We are deeply grateful for our time with him, and the countless gifts he shared with us,” the band explained in the announcement, couching the bigger news by adding, “We also announce, with great excitement and full hearts, that John Frusciante is rejoining our group. Thank you.”

Frusciante first joined the California rockers back in 1988, when the band will still reeling from the loss of founding guitarist Hillel Slovak, who died of an overdose. The teenaged guitar phenom reenergised the group during their recording for Mother’s Milk (1989) and their crossover smash album Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991), before departing and returning in 1998 for their albums Californication (1999), By the Way (2002) and Stadium Arcadium (2006).

Frusciante then left the band in 2009, with Klinghoffer joining and performing on the band’s next two albums, 2011’s I’m With You and 2016’s The Getaway . During his time away from the RHCP, Frusciante had an expansive solo career, having released 12 solo albums and seven EPs. In 2016, Frusciante briefly reunited with Anthony Kiedis and Flea at a benefit concert. Now, he’s back once again and RHCP fans across the world are delighted.
