Red Hot Chili Peppers announce first US tour dates

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are preparing to hit the road in North America for the first time in five years to promote their new album, I'm With You.

The group is currently touring Europe with upcoming dates in Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and Spain. They then break for the holidays before staring up on January 25 in Charlotte, NC. While only six dates have been officially announced, there is a large gap in their schedule, from February 3 to June 23 when they return to Europe, so expect many more dates in the near future.

Tickets for the first six shows go on sale December 3.
