Red Hot Chilli Peppers w/ Ice Cube & Irontom: Unlimited Love Tour
MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre

To many, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are more than just a Los Angeles rock band from the ’80s — they’re musical pioneers who took the world by storm with their eclectic blend of funky, alternative punk rock laced with hip-hop that sounded unlike anything anyone had heard before. The band first formed in Los Angeles in 1983 and quickly gained a following large enough to sell 300,000 copies of their debut self-titled album. Over the next few years, the band experimented with different musical genres and went through lineup changes, proving themselves to be one of the most innovative and resilient rock groups in recent history.
