Red Hot Chili Peppers have announced a vinyl reissue of the band’s 2006 album, Stadium Arcadium, in honor of its 20th anniversary.
The four-LP set is due out Oct. 2. It’ll be available in canary yellow and apple red vinyl at all retailers, brown smoke and orange smoke vinyl in independent record stores, and blue marble and ruby red marble exclusively through the RHCP webstore.
The original Stadium Arcadium marked the ninth Chili Peppers studio effort and spawned the hit singles “Dani California,” “Snow (Hey Oh)” and “Tell Me Baby.” It also marked their last album before guitarist John Frusciante’s departure from the group in 2009.
Frusciante later returned to RHCP in 2019, and they put out two new albums in 2022: Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen.
In related news, songs by artists such as Red Hot Chili Peppers and Weezer will be included in Stage Tour, a new video game akin to the Guitar Hero games.
The soundtrack so far includes RCHP’s “Dani California” and Weezer’s “Island in the Sun,” as well as Ghost’s “Square Hammer,” Static-X’s “Terminator Oscillator” and Extreme’s “Get the Funk Out.”
Stage Tour is due out in the fall, and will launch alongside guitar and drum kit controllers. It’s being released by the studio RedOctane, which includes staff members who worked on the original Guitar Hero games.
“What makes this team so unique is that we’ve brought together passionate community developers, creators, players, and veteran rhythm game developers who understand why this genre matters,” says RedOctane studio head Simon Ebejer. “We believe that combination gives us the greatest opportunity to deliver the experience fans have been waiting for.”
