RHCP Reschedule

Itinerary changes are afoot for the Red Hot Chili Peppers as singer Anthony Kiedis recovers from foot surgery, pushing the North American tour launch to March.

Surgeons recently put Kiedis under the knife to remove a crushed sesamoid bone and correct a detached flexor tendon in his foot.

Although he’s expected to make a full recovery, he won’t exactly be on his feet for the band’s winter tour in support of their Grammy-nominated album, I’m With You.

Here’s what the revised schedule looks like:

Jan. 20 in Sunrise, Fla., at the BankAtlantic Center moves to April 2

Jan. 21 in Orlando at the Amway Center moves to March 31

Jan. 23 in Tampa at the St. Pete Times Forum moves to March 29, becoming the first date on the revised North American schedule.

Jan. 25 in Charlotte, N.C., at the Time Warner Cable Arena moves to April 6

Jan. 27 in Raleigh, N.C., at the RBC Center moves to April 4

Jan. 28 in Columbia, S.C., at Colonial Life Arena moves to April 7

Jan. 30 in Duluth, Ga., at the Gwinnett Center moves to April 10

Jan. 31 in Greensboro, N.C., at the Greensboro Coliseum moves to April 9

Feb. 3 in Memphis at the FedEx Forum moves to April 12.

But wait, there’s more.

The New Orleans date scheduled for Feb. 4 moves to Oct. 4 and dates originally scheduled for February and March in Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Tulsa, Oklahoma and Little Rock are now slotted for August, September and October.

Tickets purchased for the original dates will be honored for the rescheduled shows. Visit RedHotChiliPeppers.com for more information.
