Red Hot Chili Peppers

In August 2019, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were riding high on the waves of their 2016 album, *The Getaway*. This record marked a bit of a new chapter for the band, showcasing a sound that shifted towards a more mellow, yet groovy vibe—thanks in part to producer Danger Mouse. By the time they hit the stage at the Summer Sonic Festival in Chiba, Japan, the Peppers were electrifying crowds with fan favorites like "Can't Stop" and introspective tracks like "Scar Tissue." Interestingly, *The Getaway* was their first album in six years, reflecting a matured sensibility, and it featured a more polished, atmospheric approach. While performing live, the energy was palpable; you could feel the chemistry between Flea’s funky basslines and Anthony Kiedis’s unmistakable vocals. It’s moments like these that remind us how much the Chili Peppers have evolved while still holding onto that raw, infectious spirit.
