It’s going to get spicy this fall when the Red Hot Chili Peppers drop their forthcoming album Return Of The Dream Canteen on October 14. To kick off the rollout, the legendary band released their new single “Tippa My Tongue” today, just under a week after they shared a promotional video for the album.

It has been a year of hard work for Red Hot Chili Peppers, who just three months ago released Unlimited Love, led by singles “Nerve Flip,” “Not The One,” “Poster Child,” and “Black Summer.” Listeners ought to especially be excited by this output as it has been six years since their 2016 album The Getaway. Said excitement is likely what led to a fan rushing the stage to try and sing with them and Thundercat in their recent live show at College Street Music Hall.

Check out the tracklist for Return Of The Dream Canteen below.

1. “Tippa My Tongue”
2. “Peace And Love”
3. “Reach Out”
4. “Eddie”
5. “Fake As Fu@k”
6. “Bella”
7. “Roulette”
8. “My Cigarette”
9. “Afterlife”
10. “Shoot Me A Smile”
11. “Handful”
12. “The Drummer”
13. “Bag Of Grins”
14. “La La La La La La La La”
15. “Copperbelly”
16. “Carry Me Home”
17. “In The Snow.”

Return Of The Dream Canteen is out 10/14 via Warner Records. Pre-save it here.

Since the beginning of last month, Red Hot Chili Peppers have been touring Europe with plans to bring their talents to North America later this month. It comes after the band released their 12th album Unlimited Love back in April. The project is a 17-track effort that’s their first full-length release since 2016’s The Getaway. Prior to releasing Unlimited Love, Red Hot Chili Peppers announced a worldwide tour that features a list of openers that include The Strokes, St. Vincent, ASAP Rocky, King Princess, Haim, Beck, Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, and Thundercat.

Now, that list is a little bit longer as Post Malone will join Red Hot Chili Peppers for six shows in Australia and New Zealand. Posty and Red Hot Chili Peppers will make stops in Auckland, Dunedin, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth starting in late January and concluding in mid-February 2023. That tour will follow Post Malone’s own tour in support of his fourth album Twelve Carat Toothache. Roddy Ricch will join him across the tour’s 33 shows which kick off in September and continues through November.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Made The Odd Move Of Letting Opener ASAP Rocky Close Their Concert

Last night (June 22), Red Hot Chili Peppers performed at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester, England, with support from Thundercat and ASAP Rocky. Typically, the support acts go on before the headliner (they are called “openers,” after all), but that’s not what happened yesterday.

According to The Independent, signs in the stadium read, “Due to unforeseen circumstances, A$AP Rocky will now play immediately after the Red Hot Chili Peppers.” Indeed, following RHCP’s set, Rocky put on a four-song performance, which technically made him the headliner and Chili Peppers the support act (with an exceptionally long set for an opener).

One fan, journalist Darren Burke, tweeted, “Red Hot Chili Peppers cut short their set tonight so support act ASAP Rocky could play AFTER their headline set. Been going to gigs for 30 odd years and never seen anything like it. Many disappointed fans. Bizarre end to the night.”

A brief fan-shot clip shows Rocky performing as what looks like a good number of attendees face away from the stage and head for the exits, since they presumably already saw what they went to see and didn’t have much interest in sticking around for Rocky, who isn’t musically similar to RHCP.

Claims that RHCP cut their set short to accommodate Rocky seem unfounded, however: Per Setlist.fm, the band had an 18-song set, which is as many (or more) songs than their recent performances have included.

2021’s Highest-Paid Musicians Include Bruce Springsteen And Mostly Others Who Also Sold Their Catalogs

2021 saw a lot of artists leave the year with a lot more money than they had at the start of it. Now, Rolling Stone has compiled a list of last year’s highest-earning musicians, and on top is Bruce Springsteen, who, largely to his massive catalog sale, brought in $590 million in 2021.

The rest of the list is mostly populated by artists who secured their bags with similar sales: Paul Simon is No. 3, Ryan Tedder is No. 5, Red Hot Chili Peppers is No. 6, Lindsey Buckingham is No. 7, Motley Crüe is No. 8, and Blake Shelton is No. 9. Meanwhile, Jay-Z is second on the list with $470 million and therefore No. 1 among artists whose 2021 earnings weren’t mostly thanks to catalog sales. Other big sales were involved, though: He sold half of his Armand de Brignac champagne for $300 million, and he and other Tidal co-owners sold 80 percent of the company for $302 million. The only other artists on the list who didn’t make bank from catalog sales are Ye (aka Kanye West) at No. 4 and Taylor Swift at No. 10. Swift is also the only woman on the list.

Zack O’Malley Greenburg, who penned the Rolling Stone post, also unveiled an extended version of the list in his newsletter, which includes Neil Young at No. 11 (the highest-ranking act not born in the US) and The Rolling Stones at No. 12.

As for the methodology used to compile the list, the publications notes, “The list measures pre-tax income for calendar year 2021 before deducting fees for agents, managers, lawyers, living expenses, etc. Estimates are generated by scouring public documents and interviewing individuals with direct knowledge of major deals.”

Red Hot Chili Peppers’ 2022 Tour Has Amazing Openers, Including ASAP Rocky, St. Vincent, And Many More

Last month, Red Hot Chili Peppers had some fun announcing a tour, doing so with an off-kilter parody news broadcast. They didn’t announce the dates for the shows at the time, but now, in a follow-up video, they have.

The band will travel the world between June and September next year, and they’ll be joined by a particularly impressive roster of openers: The Strokes, St. Vincent, ASAP Rocky, King Princess, Haim, Beck, Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, and Thundercat.

Red Hot Chili Peppers’ most recent album is 2016’s The Getaway. They haven’t yet announced a new LP, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see them drop one before or around when these tour dates kick off next summer.

Red Hot Chili Pepper Bassist Flea Thinks The Westminster Dog Show Results Are Rigged

Maybe we’ve all been inside too long. Maybe we don’t know how to socialize anymore so we project our fears and fantasies onto a dog show. Or maybe, just maybe, the Westminster Dog Show would’ve captured our hearts and minds even without the ongoing 15-month lockdown that’s turned our brains into mush!

Who knows, at this point, but the fact remains, the Westminster Dog Show might as well be the Super Bowl given the way it’s influenced some of the best minds of my generation to Tweet unhinged takes. And not even famous musicians are safe from this canine spectacle — Red Hot Chili Peppers’ founding member and bassist, Flea, is getting in on the conspiracy theories in a big way.

You see, Flea doesn’t think the winner of the event was chosen fairly. No, not at all. And according to The New York Times, he isn’t the only one doubling down on this hypothesis, either. “Shocked and grossed that they gave best in show to that little ass pekinese,” the bassist wrote on Twitter earlier today. “The judge had a crush on its handler im sure of it.”

Fans of bigger dogs were afronted at the win, as The Onion so perfectly detailed:

But some people were more than happy to see little Wasabi waddling his way to victory. I’m staying neutral on this one.
