Frontman Anthony Kiedes, said of the tour: “The spirit is still there but there are a lot more aches and pains along the way. The 21-year-old body could take a beating and just keep going and it can’t so much now. But we [the band] get along better, we are less self destructive and less destructive of the world around us. We will have fun everyday but we don’t have to sleep on park benches anymore!”

The band’s 2022 Global Stadium Tour sees the return of guitarist John Fruiscante who first joined the group in 1998 after the death of original lead guitarist Hillel Slovak from a heroin overdose.

After Spain the band will play gigs in the UK, France, Netherlands, Hungary, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, and Germany.

The band have sold over 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the most successful bands of the 1990s and 2000s.
