The Red Hot Chili Peppers will spice up Knoxville tonight when they play

Thompson-Boling Arena with special guests Foo Fighters.

The Chili Peppers need no introduction. With multiple platinum albums

behind them, the band is now touring in support of their latest masterpiece

Californication. Although the title may be questionable, the music

speaks for itself. Songs like “Around the World” and “Scar Tissue” have

topped national charts – and it’s obvious that the Chili Peppers are going

to be around for a while.

The Foo Fighters will be special guests at the concert. Their latest

album, There is Nothing Left to Lose, is quite possibly the group’s

best work to date. With songs like “Learn to Fly,” “Generator” and “MIA,”

this album has rekindled the popularity of the group since they vanished

from the music scene in 1997. Other past hits from the band include “Big

Me,” “My Hero” and “Everlong.”

The show will begin with the opening band, Muse – a new group on the rise

from the U.K. The band will be promoting their premiere

album,Showbiz. Influential British music magazines New Musical

Express and Melody Maker have praised the group as one of the best

new artists of 1999.

The show will begin at 7 p.m. and is presented by MTV and 94.3 Extreme

Radio. Tickets are available at all Tickets Unlimited outlets or by calling

656-4444.
