UPDATE (1/28, 1:55 p.m. ET): Red Hot Chili Peppers have shared a clip of new material. Listen to it here.
Even though the album release date is a little later than anticipated, it coincides nicely with the band's upcoming tour, which runs next summer from June to September. The outing includes a Toronto date with openers the Strokes and Thundercat.
