The Red Hot Chili Peppers + Rage Against the Machine tribute

The funk of the Chili Peppers and the fury of Rage, in one high-energy live show.

The show

Two bands.
One very sweaty night.

Imagine combining the power and energy of Rage Against the Machine with the funk and melody of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Watching Chili Rage feels a bit like eating a thousand chillies, followed by the rage-induced euphoria that comes after.

“They put more energy into an hour than many bands put into their entire careers.”From an audience review

No backing tracks
All killer

Crowd favourites from both bands, from the slow-burn of Under the Bridge to the full-pelt finish of Killing in the Name.

Every note live

Four musicians, no playback, no backing tracks. What the crowd hears is what we play.

Easy to host

A compact stage plot. Festival marquees, arts centres and pub back rooms all work.
