Red Hot Chili Peppers Europe Tour 2027

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have not announced any concerts in Europe for 2027. As of 6 October 2026 there is no tour, festival booking or one-off show in continental Europe or Ireland on the band's calendar. The only date publicly scheduled is a benefit show at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on 17 October 2026, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Silverlake Conservatory of Music that Flea founded in 2001.

Their most recent European concerts came in the summers of 2022 and 2023, when the Unlimited Love Tour filled stadiums and festival fields from Seville to Warsaw. The last of those shows was at La Prairie de Kerampuilh in Carhaix-Plouguer, Brittany, on 17 July 2023. Since then the band has taken a break from the road, with Chad Smith saying in April 2024 that they would start writing their next album in 2025.

This page sets out what is and is not known about the band's plans, then looks back at more than three decades of Chili Peppers concerts on the continent and in Ireland: the club tours of 1988 and 1990, the arena years around Californication and By the Way, the stadium summers of 2004, 2007, 2012 and 2022, and a long list of festival headline slots.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Europe Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about a Red Hot Chili Peppers tour in 2027. The band's last full touring cycle supported the two albums they released in 2022, Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen. It began in Europe, at the Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville on 4 June 2022, and continued with stadium and festival legs on several continents into 2024.

In April 2024 Chad Smith said the group would take a break after the 2024 dates and begin writing the next album in 2025. In a July 2025 interview Flea confirmed they were working on new music. Flea has also released his debut solo album, Honora, in March 2026. In May 2026 it was reported that the band had sold their music catalogue to Warner Music Group for $300 million. None of these announcements included concert dates.

New albums have usually been followed by long European runs, sometimes within months: The Getaway came out in 2016 and the band spent that June on European festival stages, followed by arena dates in the autumn. That pattern suggests Europe would be part of any future tour, but no fourteenth album has been released or scheduled, and nothing about 2027 has been confirmed.

Until the band or the venues themselves publish dates, treat any list of 2027 European shows, any 'presale code' and any ticket listing with suspicion. This page will be updated as soon as anything official is announced.

Before the Red Hot Chili Peppers Europe Tour 2027: European concert history

The Chili Peppers first crossed to mainland Europe on The Uplift Mofo Party Tour in February 1988, with Hillel Slovak still on guitar. The setlist archive records the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels on 17 February 1988, then the Effenaar in Eindhoven, Tivoli in Utrecht and the Grote Zaal in Amsterdam, followed by an outdoor show at Landgraaf in May. Slovak died in June 1988. Two years later, with John Frusciante and Chad Smith in the line-up, the Mother's Milk tour went back to the same circuit of clubs: the Vooruit in Ghent, Noorderligt in Tilburg, Tivoli, the Élysée Montmartre in Paris and Landgraaf again in June 1990.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik made them a much bigger draw. In February and March 1992 they played the Ahoy in Rotterdam, the Zénith in Paris, the Kongresshalle in Frankfurt, the PalaTrussardi in Milan, the SFX Hall in Dublin and the Philipshalle in Düsseldorf, and that July they appeared at Torhout and Werchter in Belgium. The One Hot Minute era, with Dave Navarro on guitar, brought Dalymount Park in Dublin and Domein Kiewit in Hasselt in August 1994, Las Ventas in Madrid, and an autumn 1995 arena tour from the Point Theatre in Dublin to Forest National, the Deutschlandhalle in Berlin, the Ahoy, the Zénith and the Forum in Assago.

Frusciante's return in 1998 began the band's biggest decade in Europe. The Californication tour played the Arènes de Nîmes and the Arena di Verona in the summer of 1999 before an arena run that autumn through Helsinki, Oslo, Hamburg, Berlin, The Hague, Milan, Paris-Bercy, Bordeaux, Badalona, Madrid and Lisbon. The By the Way era followed: a free show on the Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples on 26 May 2002, the Olympia in Paris, Lansdowne Road in Dublin, and in early 2003 two nights each in Lisbon, Madrid, Milan, Rome, Paris and Rotterdam. Slane Castle hosted the band in August 2001 and again in August 2003.

The Roll on the Red stadium summer of 2004 took in the Nürburgring, the Zeppelinfeld in Nuremberg, San Siro in Milan, Phoenix Park in Dublin, the Parc des Princes in Paris and the ArenA in Amsterdam. Stadium Arcadium was toured in arenas in 2006, including two nights each at the Palau Sant Jordi, Paris-Bercy, Dortmund and Milan, and in stadiums in 2007, among them the Olympiastadion in Munich, the Stadio Friuli in Udine and the Parc des Princes on 6 July 2007.

With Josh Klinghoffer on guitar, the I'm with You tour played European arenas from October to December 2011, finishing with a club show at La Cigale in Paris on 19 December, then stadiums in 2012: Croke Park in Dublin, Goffertpark in Nijmegen, the Stade de France, the Stade de Suisse in Bern and the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen. The Getaway tour of 2016 and 2017 combined festivals with arenas, including three nights at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris in October 2016 and two at the 3Arena in Dublin in September 2017.

Frusciante rejoined in 2019, and the Unlimited Love Tour brought the classic line-up back to European stadiums. In 2022 it played Seville, the Estadi Olímpic in Barcelona, Goffertpark, the Visarno Arena in Florence, Marlay Park in Dublin, the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, two nights at the Stade de France on 8 and 9 July and the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg. The 2023 leg went to Landgraaf, Warsaw's PGE Narodowy, Mannheim, Milan, Lisbon, Madrid, Lyon's Groupama Stadium and the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna before closing at Carhaix-Plouguer.

The table below lists 266 documented European concerts by Red Hot Chili Peppers between 1988 and 2023, with the most shows in Paris (23), Milan (11), Madrid (10), Hamburg (10), Dublin (10), Berlin (10). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Europe Tour 2027: career and records

The Red Hot Chili Peppers were formed in Los Angeles in 1982 by singer Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea, guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons, classmates at Fairfax High School. Their first three albums, The Red Hot Chili Peppers (1984), Freaky Styley (1985), produced by George Clinton, and The Uplift Mofo Party Plan (1987), built a following for their mix of funk and punk. Slovak died of a heroin overdose in June 1988 and Irons left soon after.

With John Frusciante on guitar and Chad Smith on drums, the band recorded Mother's Milk (1989) and then Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991), produced by Rick Rubin, with 'Give It Away' and 'Under the Bridge'. Frusciante left abruptly during the 1992 tour; after several temporary guitarists, Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction joined for One Hot Minute (1995), which reached No. 2 in the UK.

Frusciante rejoined in 1998, and Californication (1999), By the Way (2002) and Stadium Arcadium (2006) made the Chili Peppers one of the biggest rock bands in the world; By the Way and Stadium Arcadium both reached No. 1 in the UK. Frusciante left again in 2009 and Josh Klinghoffer played on I'm with You (2011), another UK No. 1, and The Getaway (2016).

Frusciante returned for a third time in 2019, and in 2022 the band released two albums six months apart, Unlimited Love, a UK No. 1, and Return of the Dream Canteen. With more than 120 million records sold, they have won three Grammy Awards, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2022.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Europe Tour 2027: Paris, from the Élysée Montmartre to the Stade de France

The stadium nights followed: the Parc des Princes in June 2004 and July 2007, the Stade de France in June 2012, then two nights there on 8 and 9 July 2022. In between, the band played three nights at the AccorHotels Arena in October 2016, Lollapalooza Paris in 2017 and a small show at La Cigale in December 2011.

Older European sets were longer: the arena shows of early 2003 often ran past 20 songs, and Dortmund on 7 February 2003 reached 24.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Europe Tour 2027 tickets and presales

No Red Hot Chili Peppers tickets are on sale for Europe in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. Any website selling seats or offering a presale code for a 2027 European show is not official.

When the band does tour, European stadium and festival tickets are sold through the official ticketing partner of each venue or festival, often after a short presale for fan club members. Buy only from those outlets or from the official resale platform in each country, and be wary of resale sites listing tickets before a sale has even opened.
