RHCP Announce First Set Of 2012 US Tour Dates

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have announced the opening dates for their US tour.

Fans can grab tickets from December 3, with the first show starting on January 25 in Charlotte. More shows will be announced in the coming weeks, according to Henne Music.

The band recently announced a set of three shows over in the UK and Ireland next June, where they will rock huge audiences in country parks. It will be the only opportunity for UK fans to see the band in 2012, though many will take the opportunity to catch during the current European tour. The band are taking a short break, but will return to the stage on December 4 at the O2 in Berlin.

One of the shows will be at Knebworth, which has played host to a record-breaking run of shows by British pop artist Robbie Williams.

Will you take the opportunity to catch the band live during this tour? Let us know in the comments, and check back on UG for new RHCP tour dates as they are announced.

Three Shows in North Carolina? Come on share the love.

[Heilz]

I was hoping to see something anywhere near NYC.... They just made my morning sad =[

[fuzmeister]

I saw them twice with Frusciante and, thus far, I have not been impressed with this current incarnation of the band. I'll pass.

[Crimson Ghost]

Saw them 4 times with John and every time was so different. Amazing live band with John.
Looking forward to seeing them with Josh though. I really liked the new album and I like what he's been able to offer the band.

[BigSpence]

Man, it's gettin' chili in here.

[Mr.DeadDuck]

Would advise skipping, saw them in manchester recently they were terrible, such a stark contrast to how they were when I saw them with John it made me sad, I loved there new album but performance was shocking on some songs

[AcdcTXfan]

Finally! Took them long enough.

[tom-the-lawn]

According to Chad Smith's twitter they'll be releasing the rest of the North American dates in december

[im not mental]

[AcdcTXfan]

There's also a Feb. 29 show in San Diego. According to Ticketmaster...

[maltore]

Wow, sorry about the poor spelling.. don't know what happened there.

I have the Live Nation app on my iPhone, and it also says that there's a 1/23 date at the St. Pete Times Forum (soon to be Tampa Bay Times Forum) in Tampa. Why was it not announced? It was actually listed on there along with the FedEx Forum date before any of the others were announced.

[dayman317]

INDIANAPOLIS PLEASE!!!!!

[MusicMan24]

Please come to Milwaukee!!!

[spyder52]

They were awesome in London! and now Knebworth Park this summer. Could be around 200,000 people there?

[soXlittleXtimeX]

So...I heard Will Ferrell plays drums for this band.

Thanks for the heads up! Hope this means there is a Miami show too.

[pauldabass]

Saw them at the Ulster Hall in Belfast during the EMAs. Amazing performance! Too bad I never had the chance to see John play live though

[jacobdubya]

I plan on seeing them in Memphis!

Of course they'll play in NYC. They would be stupid not to.

[JFisJC]

When they announce a NJ/NY show, I'll be staying home all day refreshing the page to get some good ass tickets.

[G&L18]

Saw them in calgary back in 06, it was awesome! I love how they change up the songs live, adding stuff on and doing tons of improvisation. Witnessing Chad solo while juggling his sticks at the same time was legendary too haha

[redcthulhu]

Come on down to Tennessee. You can stay at my place.

I'm not a huge fan of their new guitarist, but I love their old stuff, so I'll definitely be going.

[Jimmy5790]

Finally they're showing some love for NC they haven't been here since 05 and that was only once.

[Superperfex]

RHCP...I'm with you!

Can't wait for a NY date to be posted!

I don't care how old this joke is, I still laughed.

[joker98']

i hope they will come to israel in ogust like they supposed to

[motorizer]

RHCP ?? ... Fuk I hope their bus careens off a bridge while on this tour, Or at least someone die ..

I never asked for anything god, But please just this.

[Krieger91]

Damn, if only I got to see them with Frusciante..the main reason for watching them for me was to see John play.
Not that I really have anything against the new guy, I'm just saying that it would have been amazing to see Froosh.
