[UPDATED] Red Hot Chili Peppers announces winter tour, 3 NC dates

Funky rocker the Red Hot Chili Peppers returned with their first new album in five years earlier this year titled I'm with You. The band will hit the road in early 2012 for a southeastern arena tour which will feature three North Carolina shows.
