RHCP Reveal U.K., Ireland Dates

Sometimes it appears as if the Red Hot Chili Peppers are booking dates for just about every continent on the planet before getting around to scheduling shows for the U.S. Today’s additions are for Ireland and the United Kingdom.

So far, the only U.S. show on the band’s routing is a special benefit planned for Aug. 24 at Los Angeles’ Club Nokia. The band’s international touring schedule lists China and Japan for August, South America for September and Europe for October. Today’s additions fill up the first half of November.

Today’s Chili Peppers update begins with a gig at The O2 Dublin Nov. 4 followed by three (count ‘em!) three nights at The O2 – London Nov. 7 & 9-10. Glasgow gets the group for one night at the SECC Nov. 12; Manchester scores two evenings for the Evening News Arena Nov. 14-15; Sheffield’s Motorpoint Arena gets one appearance Nov. 17 and Birmingham’s LG Arena scores two evenings Nov. 19-20.

Fool’s Gold opens on all Ireland and U.K. shows.
