Red Hot Chili Peppers Announce 2022 World Tour | ROCK SQUAD - Episode 25

“I'm telling you after two years of lockdown and not much travel, it was really nice to just, you know, see the mountains and see the lakes and just get some fresh air.” That line from co-host Dave Marini captures the mood of the Rock Squad’s return — the hosts are back from a break, back from a trip to Vancouver, and back to live concerts for the first time in two years. This episode of Rock Squad (Episode 25) covers a packed news cycle: Big Wreck’s new EP series, a controversial Nirvana guitar reissue, the end of Smash Mouth’s run with Steve Harwell, and the big one — the Red Hot Chili Peppers announcing a 2022 world tour with John Frusciante back in the lineup.

Big Wreck’s New EP and Canadian Tour

Big Wreck, one of the hosts’ favorite Canadian rock bands, announced a new EP called Big Wreck 7.1, releasing November 19. It includes the single “Bombs Away,” which the band played live at the Festival of Friends show the hosts attended in September. The EP is the first of a planned three-part series. Alongside the release, Big Wreck announced a co-headlining Canadian tour with Monster Truck, hitting cities including Kelowna, Red Deer, Edmonton, London, Toronto, and Montreal.
