Red Hot Chili Peppers to headline 2017 Benicàssim Festival

The 2017 Benicàssim Festival will be headlined by Red Hot Chili Peppers in July.

The US veterans were a regular fixture on the festival circuit this year too promoting their latest album The Getaway, though bass player Flea did tell NME the greatest hits sets demanded by festival crowds can be a struggle to keep churning out.

“There are moments of having a hard time finding the essence and spirit of a song, but in general it’s all about the people in the end,” he said. “It’s all about connecting with the people.”

“I try to keep myself in a place of being completely selfless about it and doing my best to use every song, whether it’s one I’ve heard a million times or a new one, as a vehicle for connecting with people and making them feel less alone in the world.”
