(from RHCP.com)
Red Hot Chili Peppers and Gnarls Barkley will hit the road together for three months (January to March) in early 2007, playing arenas across the United States. Specific dates will be announced shortly.
The Chili Peppers launched their current U.S. tour to much praise in August, in support of their critically acclaimed double album Stadium Arcadium. The album debuted in May at #1 in 28 countries around the world, including topping the Billboard 200 on their home turf. Thus far the album has spawned a pair of #1 Modern Rock hits “Dani California” and “Tell Me Baby.”
Gnarls Barkley, often represented by Grammy-winning producer Danger Mouse and superstar vocalist Cee-Lo Green, released their debut St. Elsewhere CD this year to critical acclaim. Their first single, “Crazy” garnered more radio format play than any single in U.S. radio history — with nine radio formats and a U.S. radio audience of nearly 100 million. A top five album in almost every country in Europe, the band was recently nominated for two MTV Europe Music Awards for best song and best video. St. Elsewhere is currently on its way to double platinum sales in the U.S.
