Red Hot Chili Peppers

In August 2016, during their performance at the Reading Festival, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were riding high on the wave of their eleventh studio album, *The Getaway*, which was released just a few months earlier, in June 2016. This album marked a shift in their sound, as they collaborated with producer Danger Mouse, introducing elements that strayed from their more traditional funk-rock roots. It featured standout tracks like "Go Robot" and "Dark Necessities," the latter becoming a staple in their live sets, including at Reading. Live shows have always been a hallmark of their career, often showcasing their high-energy performance and improvisational flair. Interestingly, this festival performance came after a three-year hiatus from their previous album, highlighting their dedication to evolving their sound while still staying true to their roots. Fans never forget the electricity of seeing them live—there's something about the way they connect with the crowd that makes each performance feel uniquely special.
