Red Hot Chili Peppers Live in Istanbul, Turkey - Concert Highlights

Location: Istanbul, Turkey Date: August 9, 2012

In August 2012, when the Red Hot Chili Peppers performed live in Istanbul, they were riding the wave of their latest album, *I’m With You*, which had been released just a year earlier, in August 2011. This album marked a new chapter for the band, featuring Josh Klinghoffer as their new guitarist after the departure of John Frusciante. The transition was notable, yet *I’m With You* managed to capture the band's signature funk-rock sound while also exploring fresh musical territories. The Istanbul concert showcased the band's exuberance and tight performance style, resonating well with fans. Fun fact: *I’m With You* was produced by legendary producer Rick Rubin, who has been instrumental in shaping the Chilis' sound over the years, and it debuted at No. 1 in multiple countries, proving that even with lineup changes, the band could still captivate global audiences.
