The American rockers will take the stage at Tampere’s Ratina Arena on August 1. Tickets go on sale through Lippupalvelu ticket outlets on November 21.

The funk-rock quartet is known for its infectious concert energy. The group's long-lasting hits include Give It Away, Under The Bridge, Californication, Scar Tissue, Otherside, Warped, Aeroplane, By The Way and Dani California.

In Tampere, founding band members “Flea” Balzary, Anthony Kiedis (vocals) and Chad Smith (drums) will introduce recently added guitarist Josh Klinghoffer.

The California-based group is one of the most successful rock bands of all time with over 70 million records sold worldwide and seven Grammy Awards to date.
