Red Hot Chili Peppers have expanded their run of US and Canadian 2017 dates, ruling them out of an appearance at next year’s Glastonbury Festival.

Announced earlier this week, the new dates will see the Chilis hit Ontario and Michigan across the Glastonbury weekend (itself which runs from 21-25th June); the only feasible opportunity for the group to hit Worthy Farm would be on Saturday 24th June where there are no shows currently sheduled. HOWEVER we would highly presume that the available date would be reserved to move between Canada and the US in time for the 25th June set at Michigan’s Van Andel Arena.

Red Hot Chili Peppers’ sole Glastonbury date was scheduled back in 1993, however the band had to cancel last-minute, instead replaced by Lenny Kravitz as a headliner. They have not appeared since.

UK fans will still get the opportunity to see the Chilis later this year, mind, as they bring their new album The Getaway to London, Glasgow, Birmingham and Manchester in December.
