Red Hot Chili Peppers had their fair share of memorable performances at some of the most unique venues across the world, including a live show in front of more than 200,000 people on Moscow’s Red Square. Still, their upcoming gig in Egypt promises to be a something else, since American rockers will play at site of the Great Pyramids of Giza.
RHCP announced the news via their social media, revealing that the show is scheduled for March 15, 2019. The band also shared an accompanying trailer and the poster.
RHCP won’t be the first band to play at the Egypt’s Great Pyramids of Giza, since several other notable acts got the opportunity to “rock” this site including Pink Floyd in 1971 and Grateful Dead in 1978.
Although Red Hot Chili Peppers are working on a new studio album, the chances of the record being out by this concert are slim to none. Drummer Chad Smith recently told Sirius XM’s Volume West that their new studio release was going great until the California wildfires broke out and forced the band to pause the work.
“We started to work on [the new album], which, for us, is just getting in a room and making some noise and putting some notes together,” – said Smith. “And then the fires came, and the house we were working in, there was no damage, it didn’t burn down, but we couldn’t get back in there. So that halted our [progress].”
