What we know about France in 2027
Nothing is announced. The official tour page is empty and JDS lists no date. The band is writing its next album. Every album since 2006 got a world tour, and France was on each one.
The one 2027 date going around, a festival in Rosario in Argentina on 12 June, was denied by the band with "Sorry not us" (Noticias NQN).

How the presale worked last time
For the Stade de France the tour was announced on 7 October 2021. An American Express presale for the French shows ran from 11 to 14 October, the presale for fans via the band's site opened on 13 October and the general sale on 15 October at 10:00 (Blabbermouth). Live Nation promoted; tickets were sold through See Tickets and Fnac Spectacles.
For Lyon 2023 the presale was on 6 December 2022 and the general sale on 9 December at 10:00 on Fnac Spectacles (L'Éclaireur Fnac). The Vieilles Charrues sold the band's day itself; it was already sold out when the line-up came out on 14 December 2022 (Breizh-info).

Live in the meantime
Until the band comes back to France, you can hear the songs from a tribute band. We are one: De Peppers, a Red Hot Chili Peppers tribute band from the Netherlands. We are not the Red Hot Chili Peppers and we do not sell tickets for their concerts. On Saturday 12 December 2026 we play Soos Plock in Volkel, about half an hour from Eindhoven Airport.
The status for every country, and the rumour check, is in the tour tracker.
