The tour featured many festival performances and included the band's first ever shows in Alaska, Paraguay, the Philippines and Puerto Rico.

Prior to their two Alaskan dates, the band performed a private birthday party at the million dollar mansion of Lululemon founder Chip Wilson in Vancouver.

A silent auction was held and also featured donations from Marc Jacobs, Tony Hawk, Pearl Jam, Gucci and others.

[7] The final show on the tour at the Isle of Wight festival was cut short by four songs due to the band taking the stage 15 minutes late and local curfew laws.

On June 21, 2013, prior to the Chili Peppers show that night in Delaware, Anthony Kiedis, along with his tour manager, Gage Freeman and a female friend were attempting to enter the Four Seasons hotel in Philadelphia to see the Rolling Stones before they left for their own concert, when a security guard mistook Kiedis for a fan and made an attempt to block him from entering.

A scuffle broke out with the guard attempting to slam Kiedis to the ground with hotel security, Freeman and a bystander coming to his aid.

Smith, who was appearing in the city of the team's hated rival, proceeded to jokingly place the jersey down his pants and threw it on the floor.

Some fans issued more dangerous threats towards Smith by saying he would be killed or pelted with grenades or rocks on stage when the band performed in Brazil.

Smith issued a statement through Twitter stating, "'I want to apologize for my inappropriate antics at the drum clinic, my joke about team rivalries went too far.

[9] On January 10, 2014, it was announced that the band would be joining Bruno Mars as part of the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show on February 2, 2014.

[15] A lot of complaints from the media, viewers and even fellow musicians were directed towards Flea and Klinghoffer who were accused of faking their performance because their instruments were not plugged in.

Flea responded to the complaints through the band's website by saying "When we were asked by the NFL and Bruno to play our song "Give It Away" at the Super Bowl, it was made clear to us that the vocals would be live, but the bass, drums, and guitar would be pre-recorded.

I understand the NFL's stance on this, given they only have a few minutes to set up the stage, there a zillion things that could go wrong and ruin the sound for the folks watching in the stadium and the t.v.

We decided that, with Anthony singing live, we could still bring the spirit and freedom of what we do into the performance, and of course we played every note in the recording specially for the gig.

"[16][17] Chad Smith responded to the controversy through his Twitter page a few days later saying "FYI... Every band in the last 10 years at the Super Bowl has performed to a previously recorded track.

"Encore", a song that would be featured on the band's 2016 album, The Getaway, originally started out as an instrumental jam and was performed for the first time on this tour.
