RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS

[danny12345]

Just been confirmed on the NME website that Chili Peppers new album will be out in March and that they've already started booking festival dates for next year. I can definately see them playing. Kind of a safe V booking, radio friendly band, loads of recognisable hits ... plus cannot see Reading being keen to offer them a headline slot after they bombed so hard the last time they played! What do you reckon?

Yes please, keep them away from the decent festivals!

[Dave]

They were dire at Reading 2007!

Theres lots of choices for them to be honest

Download

V

Sonisphere

Hard Rock Calling

Isle of Wight

Wireless

etc

I saw them at v2001 and they were great, but I know they've gone downhill vastly since then, depends on who the new album is marketed at I guess where they play

I get the feeling they will do DL and they were not that great when I saw them at V in 2003..

Would they really want to play Wireless & Hard Rock Callling whilst they can still play real festivals though?

If Reading won't book them because they're so terrible live (which they are, I saw them at their Stadium Arcadium tour- awful!) surely V aren't second best, and won't book them either-- I can't see V booking Reading's cast-offs!

Saying that, I love RHCP but they really can't cut it live which is a shame because they make fantastic music.

Over the years they have gone downhill live. Dont think the V crowd these days would even know who they are. Maybe we should hope they get booked might keep the chavs away.

V would book Readings cast offs. In fact, just this year they booked the highly overrated Kings of Leon who were absolutely crap at Reading last year.
