Red Hot Chili Peppers

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS have announced the extension of their world tour and have included ATHENS in the list of cities they will perform in.

After many years of rumors and talks, famous LA rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers is visiting Greece for the first time this year for a one night only concert that is expected to gather fans from all across Greece.

The multi-platinum and multi-Grammy award winners RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS are one of the most successful rock bands of history. With over 70 million albums in sales, they have won 7 Grammy awards in almost every category, as are “Best Album Rock” for “Stadium Arcadium”, “Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group” for “Dani California”, “Best Rock Song” for “Scar Tissue” and “Best Hard Rock Performance With Vocal” for “Give It Away”. The band members of Red Hot Chili Peppers are lead singer Anthony Kiedis, bass player Flea, drummer Chad Smith and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer.

In 1991, Blood Sugar Sex Magik made them popular around the world and sold more than 13 million copies. “Give It Away” was released as the first single; it eventually became one of the band’s biggest and most well known songs, won a Grammy Award in 1992 for “Best Hard Rock Performance With Vocal” and became the band’s first number one single on the Modern Rock chart. The ballad “Under the Bridge” was released as a second single, and went on to reach No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the highest the band has reached on that chart as of 2011 and became one of the band’s most recognizable songs.

In 1999, Californication was released as the band’s seventh studio album. The album ultimately sold over 15 million copies and became the band’s most successful recording to date.Californication contained fewer rap-driven songs than its predecessors, instead integrating textured, consistent, and melodic guitar riffs, vocals and bass-lines.

By The Way was released three years after and produced four singles: “By the Way,” “The Zephyr Song,” “Can’t Stop” and “Universally Speaking.” The album brought a change in their musical style and was followed by an eighteen month-long world tour. The European leg of the By the Way tour produced the band’s second full-length concert DVD, Live at Slane Castle, recorded at Slane Castle in Ireland on August 23, 2003. The band released their first full-length live album, Live in Hyde Park, recorded during their performances in Hyde Park, London. More than 258,000 fans paid over $17,100,000 for tickets over three nights, a 2004 record; the event ranked No.1 on Billboard’s Top Concert Boxscores of 2004.

I’m with You, the band’s tenth studio album was released in the United States in August 2011. The album topped the charts in 18 different countries and received positive reviews.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS are finally coming to realize the dream of all the Greek fans!
