The trek finishes in the top three rock tours of the 2020s with over 3.4 million fans attending 86 dates

On July 30th, Red Hot Chili Peppers concluded their multi-year Unlimited Love Tour, officially ranking them among the top three rock tours of the 2020s.

Last night (Sun, Aug 11th), the band performed in the Closing Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Games when the Olympic Flag was officially handed off from Paris to Los Angeles for the upcoming LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games in their hometown of LA. The celebration featured this summer’s biggest beach party, bringing together the best of LA with a mix of music, entertainment, and sports, plus a sneak peak of what’s to come in 2028.

The massive global tour initially kicked off in June 2022 and continued with multiple legs around the world over the past few years. The two-year trek saw the LA-based rockers perform 66 stadium shows on 86 headlining dates in 20 countries with 3.4 million attendees. The tour supported the band’s two No. 1 studio albums that were released in 2022, Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen. The focus track “Black Summer” from Unlimited Love earned a nomination for Best Rock Song at the 2023 Grammy Awards.

The band’s Unlimited Love Tour marked their first headline stadium run in Europe, the UK, and North America. Since launching in 2022, the band has also performed in Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and more, before returning to North America for the final sold-out leg this summer, which concluded July 30 in St. Louis.

The tour featured a diverse lineup of special guests spanning genres, including A$AP Rocky, Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, Beck, City and Colour, DOMi & JD BECK, HAIM, Ice Cube, Iggy Pop, Ken Carson, King Princess, Otoboke Beaver, Post Malone, Seun Kuti & Fela’s Egypt 80, St. Vincent, The Mars Volta, The Roots, The Strokes, Thundercat, Wand and more.

On this final 18-date leg, which kicked off on May 28th in Ridgefield, WA, the band also partnered with local dog adoption agencies at every tour stop to raise awareness for adoptable dogs in the city.
