In a thrilling announcement that has fans buzzing across the globe, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have officially revealed plans for their 2026 Solo World Tour. The iconic rock band, known for their explosive energy and unmistakable fusion of funk, punk, and alternative rock, is gearing up to hit the road once again — and this time, it’s bigger and bolder than ever.
The announcement came through a cinematic trailer shared across the band’s official social media channels, featuring glimpses of their electrifying live performances intertwined with nostalgic footage from their early days in Los Angeles. Within hours, hashtags like #RHCP2026Tour and #ChiliPeppersLive began trending worldwide, sparking excitement among fans who have been eagerly waiting for their next global run.
According to official sources, the 2026 Solo World Tour will kick off in January 2026 in Los Angeles, California, the city where it all began. From there, the Peppers will embark on a massive journey across continents — performing in North America, Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia. Major tour stops include New York City (Jan 18), Toronto (Jan 24), Chicago (Jan 30), followed by London (Feb 10), Paris (Feb 14), Berlin (Feb 18), and Madrid (Feb 22). The tour will then move to Tokyo (Mar 5), Seoul (Mar 9), Sydney (Mar 15), and Rio de Janeiro (Apr 2) before wrapping up the first leg in Mexico City (Apr 10).
In a statement released by the band, frontman Anthony Kiedis expressed the group’s excitement about returning to the stage. “This tour is about connection,” Kiedis shared. “We’ve spent decades growing with our fans, and 2026 feels like the perfect time to bring everyone together again — to feel that energy, that love, and that rhythm that only live music can give.”
Bassist Flea echoed that sentiment, adding his trademark humor and passion: “We’ve got fire in our hearts and funk in our bones. We’re ready to play our souls out for you beautiful people of planet Earth!” Fans know that when Flea says something like that, it means the stage is about to explode with pure, unfiltered energy.
This upcoming tour follows the incredible success of their last few years, including their 2022 and 2023 global tours, which sold out stadiums around the world and reintroduced the band’s timeless sound to a new generation. With albums like Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen reaffirming their creative brilliance, the Chili Peppers continue to prove why they remain one of the most enduring forces in rock history.
After completing the early 2026 leg, the Red Hot Chili Peppers will extend the tour with a new series of shows running from May through July 2026. The second leg will see the band return to North America and Europe with stops in Las Vegas (May 5), Denver (May 9), Austin (May 14), and Miami (May 20). From there, they’ll jet back across the Atlantic for massive outdoor shows in Rome (June 2), Amsterdam (June 6), Copenhagen (June 10), and Stockholm (June 14). July will wrap up with a run of summer festivals and headline performances in Manchester (July 3), Dublin (July 7), Oslo (July 11), and a grand finale at Wembley Stadium, London (July 20) — marking one of the biggest moments of the tour. Additional summer festival appearances are rumored but have yet to be confirmed.
The 2026 Solo World Tour will also feature a state-of-the-art production design, combining cutting-edge visuals, pyrotechnics, and immersive lighting effects. Fans can expect a mix of artistic flair and raw performance power — the kind of sensory overload that has always defined a Red Hot Chili Peppers show. Each concert will be a full-scale celebration of their evolution, from underground funk-punk rebels to global rock icons.
Industry insiders have described the upcoming tour as a “love letter to fans”, with setlists expected to include timeless hits such as Californication, Under the Bridge, Scar Tissue, By the Way, and Can’t Stop. There are also whispers of brand-new songs being performed live for the first time, giving audiences a glimpse of what might be next for the legendary group.
Beyond the music, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are also known for their powerful stage chemistry — something that continues to captivate audiences across generations.

The official tour trailer has already amassed millions of views, featuring clips of the band rehearsing, interacting with fans, and reflecting on their journey. “It’s all about energy, love, and the groove,” Frusciante says in the video. “That’s what the Chili Peppers have always been about — and always will be.”
