New German arena dates in 2026
The fresh German anchor for the tour is a show at Berlin’s Uber Arena on June 5, 2026, listed on the current overview of dates that extends the band’s ongoing tour into summer 2026 in Europe and North America.

How the 2026 run fits into the tour story
These Berlin and Cologne dates extend a tour that started in 2022 when Red Hot Chili Peppers returned with guitarist John Frusciante and launched Unlimited Love as their twelfth studio album on Warner Records. Early legs covered stadiums and large outdoor venues across North America and Europe, now followed by a fresh run that keeps the band at arena level in Germany while they continue to visit other major European cities such as London, Paris, Madrid or Milan on the same extended route.

Where the tour stands and what’s next
Looking ahead from August 19, 2026, the Berlin show at Uber Arena on June 5 has already taken place and Cologne’s Lanxess Arena date, scheduled a few days later in June, also lies in the past. With no later 2026 or 2027 European dates publicly listed on major ticketing platforms, the band’s German arena stops form a completed chapter in a wider touring cycle that still leaves room for further announcements or festival slots beyond this summer.
