Red Hot Chili Peppers & Romeo Santos Add Shows

Red Hot Chili Peppers will play an additional night in the Bay Area and Romeo Santos has booked a third show at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

After quickly selling out the band’s Feb. 17 show at Oakland’s Oracle Arena, the Chili Peppers will stick around to play the venue the following night. The news comes a week after the group added a second date at Los Angeles’ Staples Center.

Santos’ ticket sales aren’t doing half bad either. The former lead singer for bachata band Aventura is gearing up for a solo headlining tour in support of his debut solo album, Formula, Vol.1, which was released in November.

The tour begins Feb. 11 at Madison Square Garden with dates booked through a March 25 gig at Las Vegas’ The Joint. Now that Santos’ Feb. 11 show, along with an additional MSG show Feb. 23, have both sold out, a third night at the famed arena has been announced for Feb. 24.

A fan-pre sale begins Thursday at 11 a.m. Any remaining tickets will go on sale to the public on Friday.
