Red Hot Chili Peppers have announced a string of summer tour dates in the U.S., and Tampa’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre is on that list.

Tickets to see Red Hot Chili Peppers play Tampa’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre on Friday, June 21 go on sale this Friday, with additional presales beginning on Tuesday. Prices have yet to be announced.

After spending the bulk of the last year overseas promoting two new studio albums (Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen), and having the likes of Iggy Pop and The Strokes sharing the bill, Flea and company have decided to enlist the finest in hip-hop to open up shop in the States. Ice Cube opens the Tampa date, because why the hell not?

This will be the band’s first gig in town since a 2017 stop at Amalie Arena with kawaii metal trio Babymetal.

In the meantime, please enjoy this recently viral clip of “What Red Hot Chili Peppers sound like to people who don’t like Red Hot Chili Pepper.
