Red Hot Chili Peppers extend Unlimited Love tour to 2024 with 16 new North America dates

The Red Hot Chili Peppers tour that began last year and continued in 2023 will extend well into 2024 after the iconic Grammy-winning rock band announced new dates this week.

The band, fronted by lead singer Anthony Kiedis, added 16 cities to its Unlimited Love tour, which began in 2022 after the release of its two latest albums, "Unlimited Love" and "Return of the Dream Canteen." The two albums are the first to include guitarist John Frusciante since he departed the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 2009.

Frusciante's return to the band in 2019 marked the reformation of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' core lineup, which also includes bassist Flea and drummer Chad Smith.
