The tour began in Seville, Spain and is tentatively scheduled to conclude in 2023 in Mexico; however more dates are expected.[2][3][4] Global Stadium Tour[edit]On September 24, 2021, the band announced that they would embark on a world tour in 2022, their first with John Frusciante since 2007 and that it would be in support of their as yet to be announced twelfth studio album. The band made the announcement in a YouTube video where they dressed as newscasters for a fictional news channel called KHOT News. Anthony Kiedis played a character called Johnson Hammerswaddle, Flea played Todd the Squirrel while Chad Smith played weatherman Randy Raindrops. John Frusciante appeared as himself being interviewed by the other three band members.[5] On October 7, 2021, the band released another KHOT News video where they confirmed the first 32 dates for their Global Stadium Tour which would see the band performing their first North American headlining stadium shows in their career. Presales for the shows began on October 9.[6] Pre-tour promotional shows and performances[edit]On April 1, the release date for Unlimited Love, the Chili Peppers performed a surprise show The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles. It marked the band's first show since 2007 with Frusciante (they did perform a three-song set, minus Chad Smith, on February 8, 2020, at a memorial service for a friend).[7][8] The show saw the live debuts of "Here Ever After", "Aquatic Mouth Dance" and "Not the One" from Unlimited Love and George Clinton joined the band for "Give It Away".[9] On the same day, the band appeared in pre-recorded performances (filmed on March 29 and 31) on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where "Black Summer" made its live debut[10] and on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where they performed "These Are the Ways" for the first time on the rooftop of The Hollywood Roosevelt hotel where the album cover and photos were shot,[11] On April 5 they appeared on The Howard Stern Show where they were interviewed and performed "These Are the Ways" along with two handpicked songs by Howard Stern, "Give It Away" and "Under the Bridge".

The performance included a cover of Black Flag's "Nervous Breakdown" which was last performed by the band in 2016.[12][13] The band gave a surprise invite-only performance on April 14 at the Yaamava' Theater in Highland, CA for the opening of the Yaamava' Resort & Casino. They were the first to ever perform at the theater. This performance saw the live debut of "Whatchu Thinkin'".[14] On May 1 the band performed at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, replacing the Foo Fighters who cancelled their appearance following the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins. The band closed the show with "By the Way" marking the first time the song closed a show since 2007.[15] While the band was scheduled to perform at the Billboard Music Awards on May 15, it was later announced on May 11 that due to “unseen circumstances” the band was forced to cancel their appearance at the awards show.[16][17] SiriusXM launched the Whole Lotta Red Hot channel on April 1 and it was announced that an exclusive concert for subscribers would air on the channel later in the year.[18] European leg[edit]The band kicked off their Global Stadium Tour in Seville on June 4, 2022. It marked the band's first tour with Frusciante since their Stadium Arcadium World Tour in 2006-07 and their first ever show in Seville. The setlist consists of 17 songs with the shows lasting under two hours, which has been common for the band throughout their career.[19] On June 7, 2022, the band performed in Barcelona where the setlist saw a drastic change from the first night. "The Heavy Wing" from Unlimited Love made its live debut, while songs including "Around the World" "Dani California", "I Could Have Lied" and "Right on Time" were performed with Frusicante for the first time in over 15 years. At the band's June 10 show in the Netherlands, "One Way Traffic" from Unlimited Love made its live debut while "Hard to Concentrate" from 2006's Stadium Arcadium was performed for the first time with Frusciante and "I Like Dirt" from 1999's Californication was performed for the first time since 2004 with Frusciante. On June 12, the band performed in Bratislava, Slovakia at the Lovestream Festival where "She's a Lover" and "White Braids & Pillow Chair" from Unlimited Love made their live debut along with "Me and My Friends" making its tour debut. "Thirty Dirty Birds", a short spoken word song from 1985's Freaky Styley, was recited by Flea during the show. It marked the first time since 1991 it had been performed. At their June 15 show in Budapest, "It's Only Natural" from Unlimited Love made its live debut while "Don't Forget Me" made its tour debut. "Universally Speaking" was performed for the first time since 2004 with Frusciante at the band's June 22 show in Manchester. Under the Bridge finally made its return on June 25 in London after being dropped from previous shows. That same show, "Emit Remmus" also made its tour debut. On June 29 in Dublin, "If You Have to Ask", "Sir Psycho Sexy" and "They're Red Hot" from their 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik made their tour debuts. The band announced that they had to cancel their July 1 show in Glasgow due to an illness and said they are working on ways to reschedule the show.[20] North American leg[edit]The band kicked off the North American leg of their tour on July 23, 2022 in Denver, CO. During the show, the band announced that their 13th studio album, Return of the Dream Canteen, would be released on October 14, 2022.[21] The band's July 29, 2022 show in Santa Clara saw the tour debut of the rarely-performed "She's Only 18", which was last performed in 2017, and on the August 6, 2022 in Las Vegas saw the tour debut of "Blood Sugar Sex Magik". "Strip My Mind" made its tour debut in Nashville on August 12. The band performed "Black Summer" and "Can't Stop" the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards on August 28 where received the Global Icon Award, presented to them by Cheech & Chong, and also won the award for Best Rock Video for "Black Summer".[22][23] The band performed a special show at The Apollo Theater in New York on September 13, 2022 as part of the SiriusXM Small Stage Series. The show was broadcast live on the band's SiriusXM channel Whole Lotta Red Hot and fans could win tickets by listening to the channel.[24] The band's show on September 15, 2022 in Orlando was delayed for over an hour due to a rain storm. During the show, John Frusciante performed "I Remember You" by the Ramones to pay tribute to his late friend Johnny Ramone who passed away 18 years earlier on that date.[25] The North American leg of the stadium tour wrapped up on September 18, 2022 in Arlington, TX. Festival performances will conclude the remainder of the North America dates in 2022. On October 9, "Eddie" made its live debut at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. It was the first performance of a song from Return of the Dream Canteen. On October 12, the band made a surprise appearance at Hoopa Valley High School in Hoopa, CA where they performed tweleve songs for the students during the school's Indigenous Peoples' Day assembly.[26]The band performed their final show of 2022 at the Silverlake Conservatory of Music on October 29. The show was dedicated to the band's former drummer D.H. Peligro who passed away the previous day. "Can't Stop" and "Around the World" have alternated as the band's opening songs for the first two legs of the tour. "By the Way" is now serving as the band's closing song for their shows. The closing slot was typically held for many years by "Give it Away", which now ends the main set. This tour has seen the band drop "Under the Bridge" from many of their setlists. The song has been written on various setlists but either dropped in favor of another song (typically "I Could Have Lied", "Soul to Squeeze" or "Sir Pyscho Sexy") or not replaced by any song. Oceania leg[edit]Following the conclusion of the North American dates on October 16, 2022, the tour is scheduled to resume on January 21, 2023 with eight dates in New Zealand and Australia with Post Malone serving as the opening act.
