Red Hot Chili Peppers

In June 2016, when the Red Hot Chili Peppers performed at the Open'er Festival in Poland, they were riding high on the wave of their eleventh studio album, *The Getaway*, which was set to be released just a few days later, on June 17. This concert was a pivotal moment for the band as they showcased new material alongside fan-favorites, creating an exhilarating blend of nostalgia and fresh energy. Notably, *The Getaway* marked the first album featuring producer Danger Mouse, which hinted at a new direction in their sound—a striking change from their earlier work. It’s fascinating how this live performance allowed the band to test drive their new tunes in front of an enthusiastic crowd, a tradition that's as electric as it is risky. With tracks like "Can't Stop" and "Dani California" in their repertoire, the event was not just a concert but a celebration of their evolution while rooted in their iconic funk-rock heritage.
