    The worst kept secret in South African concert history has been confirmed: the Red Hot Chili Peppers will finally be touring South Africa in February 2013.

    The rumours have been doing the rounds for years, but received a bump in prominence around the time that it was announced that Lady Gaga would perform in South Africa.

    South Africans thought to themselves: “Surely the Peppers will come soon?”

    That rumour mill went into overdrive this past Friday afternoon when an image of a poster created for the Peppers tour leaked onto social networks.

    The big announcement this morning wasn’t as big as it could have been, but either way, another good band is coming to South Africa.

    The only surprising thing is that Die Antwoord will be the opening act.

    The Peppers will play two gigs: one in Jozi at Soccer City Complex, FNB Stadium, on 2 February 2013, and one in Cape Town on 5 February 2013 at Cape Town Stadium.

    From the press release:

    One of the most successful acts in rock history, Red Hot Chili Peppers have sold more than 60 million albums, including five multi-platinum LPs, and won six Grammy Awards, including “Best Rock Album” for Stadium Arcadium, “Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group” for “Dani California, “Best Rock Song” for “Scar Tissue,” and “Best Hard Rock Performance With Vocal” for “Give It Away.” The band holds the record for the most No. 1 singles of all time at Alternative radio, a total of 11, and a combined 81 weeks at No. 1. They have also won 8 MTV Video Music Awards. In April 2012 the band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

    Their newest release, I’m With You, was produced by Rick Rubin, who has produced the band’s previous five albums, 2006’s  Stadium Arcadium, 2002’s By The Way, 1999’s Californication, 1995’s One Hot Minute, and 1991’s Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Both ‘Californication’ and ‘Blood Sugar Sex Magik’ have ranked in Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest albums of all time. ‘I’m With You’ was mixed by Andrew Scheps and Greg Fidelman and features the hit single ‘The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie’ and latest release ‘Brendan’s Death Song’.

    Tickets go on sale for the Jozi gig on Wednesday 29 August, and Thursday 30 August for the Cape Town gig. Ticket sales for both gigs open at 09h00 on their respective days.

    Ticket prices range from R315 – R715 for Jozi, and R215 – R665 for Cape Town. Click HERE for the Jozi seating plan, and HERE for the Cape Town one.

    Get your tickets online from Computicket, or call 0861 915 8000. They will also be available at all Shoprite/Checkers outlets with a Computicket payment kiosk.
