    Amazing news. An absolute hero of mine. By the way era they were untouchable as one of the best bands in the world. Their work since John left has been really flat in my opinion. 

    I have a feeling this has something to do with frusciante’s divorce a year or so ago where he’s been made to pay his ex a shit tonne of money every year to maintain her lifestyle.

    Not a patch on Bagrockers, Red Hot Chili Pipers.

    Just checked the prices, wow. I have noticed that for most shows the prices have gone through the roof since lockdown, I swear only a couple of years ago the big shows would be about £65 for standing, everything I've seen lately has been around the £90 mark.

    Making up for lost concerts clearly, and people who have been starved of live music will be willing to pay through the nose for it

    Half a chance they headline Sunday at Glastonbury, there's nothing on the calender atm that clashes.

    Saw them with Josh a couple of years ago but couldn’t resist tickets for this tour now John is back. Busy on the London date so bought tickets for Glasgow and making a weekend of it. 

    Praying the album is good, I’ve not rated anything they’ve done since SA but I’m confident it will be with Frusciantes magic on it

    I don't want to say how much I paid for a 1 seat ticket. Bit embarrassing

    I sort of already regret it but I probably won't see them live again. They're getting old, new albums on the way and the original peak band members are united again.

    By June next year, I won't be thinking about the price 😢

    Actually, I probably will be

    Glasgow will be good 👌👌 cheaper then London and only 35,000 seats

    Absolutely despise their music.

    And before anybody asks “Why did you open the thread then?”, I thought it might be a thread about how much people despise their music.

    Oh I'm not trying to shame anyone who has bought any, if it was someone I was desperate to see then I would. It was more a general observation of ticket prices post lockdown.

    Got tickets for the Sunday. Crazy prices but have been a long time fan and not sure there will be another big tour.

    Hope the new album is an improvement on the recent stuff though.

    IMO RHCP with Frusciante in is a completely different band in terms of quality to RHCP without JF. I don't exactly know what it is but they're just nowhere near as catchy and enjoyable without him.

    Would love to have tickets for the gig but it was just too expensive atm, hopefully the albums good at least.

    Agreed. Some of his solo stuff is pretty good as well. Plus he’s the only band member that’s not a complete arsehole :)

    Might be worth checking Twickets just before the London dates. For big gigs like this there’s sometimes a few people getting rid of spares for less than they paid.

    I hope they play some b sides from old albums. The good ones, between 1990-2007. The 2016 getaway album is pretty good too.

    I'm not too fused about a few of their big songs. "Tell me baby" does nothing for me, personally.

    New tour prices are eye-watering at the moment. A few mates were going to see Foo Fighters at London Stadium, but it was £120!

    2 tickets @£106 each, expensive but worth it with John back in the band.
