RHCP not in Belgrade, but in Inđija?!
According to 24 Äasa, VeÄernje novosti and MTS Mondo, as well as some of our sources in local media and some fairies and elves, Red Hot Chili Peppers are definitely going to play in southeastern Europe for the first time in their 22-year-long career…and what’s even better, they’ll be playing here in Serbia! However, surprisingly, the venue will most likely be an open field close to the small town of InÄ‘ija, 40-ish km north-western from Belgrade [the capital/I-M.net headquarters :p].
Here’s the translation of the news published in all the mentioned media during the last couple of days, translated by yours truly.
The greatest American rock band at the moment, Red Hot Chili Peppers are finally coming to Serbia! According to Belgrade media, the Peppers will play near Inđija on 26th June.
The concert will be held on an open field, close to the [Belgrade-Budapest] highroad, so the expected amount of people, 50-60 000 could have enough space. As MONDO found out, on the location in the industrial zone of Inđija, fake grass will be set up on the field, to avoid any mud.
It is known that Anthony Kiedis, Flea, John Frusciante and Chad Smith like to play in unusual places they have not visited before, and since it’s been rumoured that their honorar for the show in Serbia would be 1 500 000 Euros, playing at the highway near InÄ‘ija won’t hurt them.
The organisers of the show are the same people in charge of the EXIT festival and they’ll soon provide us with ticket price and other details regarding this concert.
So, guys, I am still waiting for the official site to confirm this, but it seems pretty much official otherwise. When it’s announced, I will probably do a little survey to see how many of the site visitors are interested in coming and going to the show and perhaps we could organise a little something.
