Red Hot Chili Peppers kicked off their world stadium tour last night (June 4) at the Estadio La Cartuja in Seville – check out footage and the setlist below.

The tour is in support of new album ‘Unlimited Love’, the band’s first new record since 2016’s The Getaway’ and the first to feature long-serving guitarist John Frusciante in over a decade.

Five new tracks from ‘Unlimited Love’ were played during the 18-song set – ‘Aquatic Mouth Dance’, ‘Here Ever After’, ‘These Are The Ways’, ‘Whatchu Thinkin’’ and lead single ‘Black Summer’. The band started the show with 2003 smash ‘Can’t Stop’ and played plenty of hits throughout the night, including ‘Scar Tissue’, ‘Californication’ and ‘Give It Away’.

The show finished with a two-song encore featuring 1992’s ‘Under The Bridge’ and 2002’s ‘By The Way’

Red Hot Chili Peppers have also said that they have a “loose plan” to release another new album

“We’re gonna put out music by the handful – literally,” Kiedis told NME. “Don’t be surprised if another wheelbarrow of songs comes your way in the near future. We have a lot of shit to turn people onto.”

Frusciante added that there is a “loose plan” for a follow-up album to ‘Unlimited Love’, and that the band “recorded almost 50 pieces of music” during sessions with producer Rick Rubin.
