The US band will return to Australia for their first live show in 12 years and will begin their tour with a one-off show at the Derwent Entertainment Centre on February 17.
After their Tasmanian show, the band will play arenas in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, and open air shows in the Hunter Valley and at A Day on the Green at Geelong, before the final show in Perth, WA.
The tour will promote their current and 11th studio album, The Getaway.
“We can’t wait to see all our fans in Australia and New Zealand - it has been too long. The fact that we get to play in Tassie for the first time makes this tour even more special,” the band said.
Red Hot Chili Peppers, which comprises of singer Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea, drummer Chad Smith and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, have sold more than 60 million albums, including five multi-platinum LPs, and won six Grammy awards. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.
The last time the band played a headline tour in Australia was in 2007, where they performed nine sold-out shows. They also appeared at Big Day Out in 2013.
