The Red Hot Chili Peppers 2013/2014 Tour was a concert tour by Red Hot Chili Peppers. The tour followed the band's almost two-year-long I'm with You World Tour which ended in April 2013. The tour featured many festival performances and included the band's first ever shows in Alaska, Paraguay, the Philippines and Puerto Rico. The band also performed in New York City for the first time since 2003 and gave a controversial performance during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLVIII, which was seen by a record-breaking 115.3 million viewers worldwide. During the tour, the band started work on their eleventh studio album in February 2014.
In May, the band gave a special performance for Dalai Lama at the Dalai Lama Environmental Summit. The tour will also feature the band's very first shows in Alaska, where they had previously attempted to perform four times on the One Hot Minute Tour in 1997 however were forced to cancel due to various problems including injuries, scheduling conflicts and drug problems. Tickets for the Alaska show were in such high demand, selling out in three hours which prompted the band to schedule another show there. They will also make their first trip since September 2011 to Brazil and will perform their first ever show in Paraguay.
Prior to their two Alaskan dates, the band performed a private birthday party at the million dollar mansion of Lululemon founder Chip Wilson in Vancouver.
The band performed a special benefit concert in October for Flea's Silverlake Conservatory of Music which was hosted by Flea and Kiedis and featured a special headlining performance by Neil Young. A silent auction was held and also featured donations from Marc Jacobs, Tony Hawk, Pearl Jam, Gucci and others. The band also announced their very first show ever in Puerto Rico which took place on April 6, 2014.
