Red Hot Chili Peppers are rumoured to be making a huge headlining appearance at the iconic Knebworth venue next summer with official announcements expected in the next couple of weeks.
The world-famous band, who’ve just released their tenth studio album ‘I’m With You’, are sculpting together plans for a massive world tour, after they announced a further two dates in France last week. With dates in Europe scheduled for the rest of this year, and American and Canadian dates expected for early 2012, it looks like the Chilis will be returning to the UK and Europe for summer 2012 festival and stadium dates.
Although nothing official has been said yet, the Knebworth shows are the subject of an intense gossip, and from what we are hearing, it looks like the rumours could indeed be true. What’s currently unknown is whether the ‘By the Way’ band would be in the Knebworth area to headline the now-massive Sonisphere festival, which saw the big four of thrash tear up the stage earlier this year, or to play their own stand-alone headline gigs as part of the tour. Whatever the plans are, RHCP fans in for a treat come summer 2012.
Ahead of the possible announcements, RHCP unveiled two more gigs in France after their initials pair of shows in Paris’s Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy sold out. French fans will now be able to catch the band in the Stade de France on the 29th and 30th of June – tickets are set to go on sale soon.
