Red Hot Chili Peppers will play a set on Monday, August 28 at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, where they’ll receive this year’s Global Icon Award before finishing the North American leg of their summer tour. The ceremony will also feature performances from J Balvin, Lizzo, and Blackpink and will be emceed by LL Cool J, Nicki Minaj, and Jack Harlow.
On Thursday, 10 days ahead of the event, Anthony Kiedis and Co. shared “Tippa My Tongue,” the lead single and opening track from Return of the Dream Canteen, their second LP of 2022, due out October 14 via Warner Records. Unlimited Love, which arrived in April, was the first RHCP record since 2016’s The Getaway, and the first to feature guitarist John Frusciante since 2006’s Stadium Arcadium.
